Details MATERIALS: Bath stone ashlar; some engineering brick in the retaining walls. DESCRIPTION: Sydney Wharf Bridge: a 30ft (12m) semi-elliptical arch with parapet, and a simple and bold string course and coping. The abutments are incorporated with the cutting retaining walls. Cutting retaining walls: extend on both sides of the track north to Sydney Road Bridge (MLN1 10618, listed Grade II*) and south to the northern (low mileage) portal of the Bathwick Covered Way (MLN110624/10629, listed Grade II). The walls are 6-8m tall, stepping down north to south, with battered curved faces. These are articulated by a plinth supporting pilaster buttresses, under a string course and coped parapet. All mouldings are bold and simple. Some sections of the eastern (Down) retaining wall have been refaced in purple engineering brick, carefully replicating the original mouldings.
