Heritage listing
Details TRING BRITISH RAIL: SP 91 Sl4 MIDLAND REGION LONDON-RUGBY LINE 4/47 Bridge No. 114 - (Parkhill Bridge) GV II Road bridge over railway at Tring Cutting. Circa 1837 by Robert Stephenson for the London and Birmingham Railway Company. Brown brick with stone impost bands, skewbacks, cornice, and parapet copings. A long narrow three-arched bridge taking an access road across the great Tring Cutting, 2½ miles long and here about 50ft deep. A higher 7-ring segmental arch in middle over trackbed with slender rectangular pier at foot of earth slope on each side, and tall opening through each pier with round arched top and bottom. Slightly lower segmental side arches to abutments hidden in earth slope. Wide unmoulded stone cornice at roadway level with brick parapets, rectangular terminal piers and weathered stone copings. The cutting was made necessary by Stephenson's decision to have a maximum gradient on the line of 1/330, and there is a well known lithograph by J.C. Bourne showing an army of navvies excavating it. The line was opened 9 April 1838 (Lelux(1976)13-15). Listing NGR: SP9432813258 Legacy The contents of this record have been generated from a legacy data system.
