7/590 Footbridge at Ashurst Station
II
Footbridge over the railway. Station was opened in 1888. Cast iron
footbridge over the railway linking the up- and down-line platforms. From
each platform straight flights of steps with wooden treads up to a half
landing supported on 4 columns with moulded caps and bases and with open
spandrel-like braces springing from small fluted brackets enriched with
leaves. Stairs have octagonal newel posts with moulded caps and bases with
plain handrail over trelliswork. Main bridge rises with a few steps each side
to the walkway. The curving girders make the bridge rise in a flat-topped
arch with curving corners. The footway is braced by a series of L-profile
iron strips and each side of the parapet the braces curve out and back in
again - onion-shaped.
