Viaduct, 1848 1850. Alexander Rendel engineer, Thomas Brassey contractor, for
Birkenhead, Lancs & Cheshire Junction Railway Co. Brown brick and cast iron. Segmental-arched cast iron span of 25 metres approximately 28 metres above water level of Navigation, with a lower round brick arch to each side surmounted by doubly-recessed rectangular panel. Square abutments. 4 rectangular buttresses on each face. Moulded cornices: moulded stone imposts to central span; moulded copings. A reinforced concrete tract-bed has been inserted above the cast iron arch.
A handsome symmetrical viaduct somewhat marred in appearance by the necessary super-imposed reinforced concrete strengthening.
