Description
Cast-iron footbridge over railway with latticed sides, erected 1863. East side has cast-iron column supports with moulded lower sections and newel posts with ball tops; west side supported on cut limestone piers with cornices. Detached single-bay single-storey signal cabin at road bridge, with hipped slate roof, rendered chimneystack, rendered lower and glazed timber upper walls with glazed timber door with stone step and timber surround.
Appraisal
This mainly intact cast-iron footbridge is a good example of Victorian engineering, featuring good decorative detailing and still serves its original purpose. The signal cabin is intact and continues in use.
