Railway bridge over Worsley Road

II

Railway bridge. Late 1820s. By George Stephenson for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company. Brick with ashlar dressings. Single-span skew bridge. The segmental skew arch with rusticated voussoirs springs from impost bands. Bands at the head of the arch and base of the parapet continue on the flat pilasters to either side. The curved retaining walls and railings are also original. The south side is obscured by a later bridge which is not included in this entry. R. S. Fitzgerald, Liverpool Road Station, Manchester, 1980, p.19.
