NZ01NW HARMIRE ROAD 770-1/1/78 (West side (off)) Percy Beck Bridge (that part in Barnard Castle CP)
GV II
Railway viaduct over Percy Beck, railway line removed. Opened 1861. Probably by Thomas Bouch. For the South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway Co. Rock-faced sandstone with fire-brick arches and ashlar dressings; wrought-iron ties. 4 arches on stone piers and accommodation arch at each end. High round arches of yellow brick, with shallow buttresses between accommodation arches and bridge, show 3 courses of brick voussoirs below rock-faced masonry with cyma-moulded cornice and rock-faced blocking course continuing round buttresses. Inner faces of piers have high paired arched panels. Much of blocking course removed. One of the few remaining bridges on this line, carrying the railway line first to Barrass and then to Tebay, the iron trestle viaducts such as that over the Tees having been demolished. See also Marwood CP. (Tomlinson WW: North Eastern Railway (3rd edition): Newton Abbott: 1987-: 596).
