It is a long low structure of 14 segmental arches on low piers with triangular cutwaters which have semi-pyramidal tops of dressed stone, a roundel in each spandrel, a moulded stone band, and a high brick parapet to the south side with flat stone coping secured by wrought-iron cramps, incorporating 4 semicircular refuges; and in the centre of the outer side a stone plaque lettered "BUILT 1784". Lighting now replaced with reproduction windsor lighting. Parapets rebuilt in 1988.
