Description
On the 16th November 2018 York Archaeological Trust conducted a building recording exercise at Scarborough Railway Bridge, York.
The work was undertaken for Amco Giffen to as part of planning consent for 17/03049/FULM.
The bridge was built in 1845 to service the York and North Midland Railway Line from York to Scarborough. The bridge consists of a modern steel track deck carried by stone abutments and a central pier. The abutments and pier date to 1845 when the bridge carried a cast iron track deck. The track deck was replaced with the construction of York Station in 1877 with wrought iron lattice girders. The late 19th-century track deck survived until 2015 when it was replaced with a wider steel deck, carried by the original abutments and pier.
