TORQUAY
SX9063 HENNAPYN ROAD 885-1/17/1 Hennapyn Road Bridge immediately 26/03/86 south of Torquay Station
GV II
Road bridge over railway line. Probably 1892. Limestone abutments, snecked and rock-faced with ashlar quoins and stringcourse; cast-iron bridge and parapet balustrade. Single-span bridge with segmental arched cast-iron girders, 9 set parallel closely together, the outer girders having fielded-panel, recessed spandrels. The fine cast-iron balustrade above has large acanthus leaves, interlacing and small cast-iron posts at the junction of each of the 3 panels, and a cast-iron torus-moulded string below which continues in stone in the abutments, which have piers with a pronounced batter and pyramid caps. The abutments have parapets with terminal piers with similar caps. The railway line from Newton Abbot to Torquay was built by the South Devon Railway Company in 1848 but only reached Torre Station Newton Road, (qv). The line was extended to Paignton in 1859 when Torquay Station was opened. In 1876 the South Devon Railway was taken over by the Great Western Railway, who built Torquay Station, Rathmore Road (qv) in 1878. This bridge was probably built in 1892 when the track was widened.
