Full Description

Road bridge over the Stonar Cut near Richborough, carrying the A256 with a disused railway bridge adjacent. The road bridge, on the western side, has a modern concrete deck on steel beams with brick parapets. Adjacent on its east side is a railway bridge, now disused, constructed of rivetted iron girders. This now carries a pipeline. Both bridges are set on earlier brick abutments, probably of 19thC date. The abutments are all of one phases though much larger than the area of both bridges. Abutment brickwork partly removed on the north bank upsream of the road bridge and collapsed on the down stream side. Presumably the site of a road bridge pre-dating the abutments. (site visit March 1996)
