Description
Single-span road bridge over railway, built c. 1875, still in use although railway line now disused. Riveted iron girder construction on rock-faced roughly coursed dressed limestone piers, having iron latticed parapet railings. Associated random rubble limestone three-arch bridge to east, spanning Clashawley River and carrying roadway to railway bridge.
Appraisal
This bridge with its iron girders and monumental limestone piers is an imposing structure. It forms an integral part of a pleasant group of railway structures with a former station and goods shed on the site. These structures are a reminder of the engineering achievements of the great railway era.
