Heritage listing
Details MATERIALS: stock brick, laid mostly in English bond with some parts in Flemish bond; some spalling. Some red and purple engineering brick on the south (Down) abutment. Limestone coping. DESCRIPTION: three 30ft [9m] semi-elliptical spans; single round-headed transverse arches to the piers. Impost blocks appear to be rendered. Stepped string course to both faces. A straight joint in the high mileage parapet wall suggests some rebuilding. Limestone shallow-pitched parapet copings. Granite spur-stones protect the parapet walls from wheel strikes. Raked and curved abutments/wing walls. In 1890-3 the cutting was widened and regraded on the south (Down) side and the southern abutments/wing walls were rebuilt in contrasting red and purple engineering brick to allow an additional two tracks to run through the southern side arch, which was retained. Southbury Lane Bridge is located on the southern edge of the village of Ruscombe, very close to the Grade I listed Church of St. James which was rebuilt in the C17.
