Quarry-faced red sandstone blocks with brick arches. Double-track width of 6 spans crossing the River Eden on a slight curve. Each arch is segmental on rounded piers with quarry-faced voussoirs. Arch soffits are of brick. Moulded string course and solid parapet with chamfered coping; parts of the parapet have stones missing through vandalism. Concern was expressed in the Carlisle Journal 15 January 1861 that the wooden bridge, constructed to carry a tramway for the building of this bridge, would be damaged by ice floes on the river. The line was completed in April 1862. Waverley Viaduct is partly in Kingmoor CP.... -
