Wharfe Bridge

II

Railway viaduct, now disused. 1847. For the York and North Midland Railway Company; altered. Coursed squared magnesian limestone; ashlar gritstone dressings. 5 round arches on each bank of the River Wharf linked by 2 fabricated steel plate girders of later date set on a mid-stream pier. The arches on each embankment spring from piers with ashlar cutwaters and have rock-faced voussoirs beneath a nosed ashlar band; parapet walls mostly removed. On each river bank is a larger pier with domed cutwater; on the sides facing the river are seatings for what were probably arch braces to an original cast-iron bridge structure; the nosed bands return. Central pier as those on each bank. Original to the Church Fenton to Spofforth line opened 1847 and linked to Harrogate the following year. At this point the River Wharfe forms the county boundary, with West Yorkshire occupying the north bank.
