Series of 16 strainer arches in
5/45 railway cutting at SD 581 192
- II
Series of 16 strainer or "flying" arches in railway cutting for the Euxton
Section of the Bolton and Preston Railway, 1842. Punched gritstone. Span 26
feet 9 inches, width of each arch 18 inches, intervals irregular but c.15
feet. Segmental arches carry solid spandrels, the coping of which sweeps
down to a centre span composed only of voussoirs with a flat coping. Rare,
though not unique, form of contemporary railway engineering (adopted here
as alternative to a tunnel which proved too difficult to construct);probably
by J. Alexander Adie.
