Full description
A bridge built to carry the Cornwall Railway of 1859 over the public road at 287m 10c. The bridge is of squared masonry with a skew elliptical arch having rusticated cut stone voussoirs. There is a string course above the arch, and a later low brick parapet has been added. When the line was doubled in 1898, a second bridge was built to the south by the GWR to carry the main line, leaving this bridge in use for the sidings into the clay drys (JRS).
