Heritage listing
Details MATERIALS: grey Swindon Portland stone, squared and coursed, apart from the arch rings and the east (low mileage) face from the springing point upwards, which has been refaced in GWR contrasting red and purple engineering brick. DESCRIPTION: sweeping humpback profile, the faces continuing unbroken as gently curving wing walls. Central arch with standard 30ft (9m) span; side arches lower and with c. 17ft (5m) spans. A later tie rod in each spandrel, with rectangular plate. The west (high mileage) face retains its roll moulded string course, but as part of the refacing the east (low mileage) face has been given a plain brick version. The parapets have stepped inner faces and end in terminating piers, expressed on the outer faces. Stone coping (surviving on both sides), with a slight fall to the outer face.
