Heritage listing
Details MATERIALS: original handmade red brick, with some red engineering brick patching and GWR red and purple engineering brick to the tops of the parapets. English bond. DESCRIPTION: single segmental arch with c. 36ft span springing from abutments which incline inwards. Each abutment pierced by three segmental arched recesses. The carriageway is unusually wide at 24ft between parapets. The bridge faces, with stepped string course, continue in an elegantly gentle curve to form slightly raked wing walls, where the humped-back parapets terminate in piers expressed on the external face only. The parapets raised in the C20 with five courses of engineering brick and a steeply pitched rendered coping. This is an unusual design for Brunel.
