Bridge over River Gaunless. Dated 1830 for Stockton and Darlington railway by
William Storey; date panel names builder James Wilson of Pontefract. Grit
sandstone, coursed and squared with tooled ashlar dressings. Skew plan at
angle of 270 with river. Low segmental arch with chamfered voussoirs and
wider-arched fall roll-moulded dripstring; this merges with similar string
at rail-bed level. Parapets sweep out to round piers and have chamfered
coping continuous with top bands of piers, which have low ogee-domed coping.
Moulded rectangular inscription panel on north face. One of the earliest
surviving skew arches, which were becoming a necessary part of railway
engineering.
