TORQUAY
SX9063 HENNAPYN ROAD
885-1/17/1 Hennapyn Road Bridge immediately
26/03/86 south of Torquay Station
GV II
Road bridge over railway line. Probably 1892. Limestone
abutments, snecked and rock-faced with ashlar quoins and
stringcourse; cast-iron bridge and parapet balustrade.
Single-span bridge with segmental arched cast-iron girders, 9
set parallel closely together, the outer girders having
fielded-panel, recessed spandrels. The fine cast-iron
balustrade above has large acanthus leaves, interlacing and
small cast-iron posts at the junction of each of the 3 panels,
and a cast-iron torus-moulded string below which continues in
stone in the abutments, which have piers with a pronounced
batter and pyramid caps. The abutments have parapets with
terminal piers with similar caps. The railway line from Newton
Abbot to Torquay was built by the South Devon Railway Company
in 1848 but only reached Torre Station Newton Road, (qv). The
line was extended to Paignton in 1859 when Torquay Station was
opened. In 1876 the South Devon Railway was taken over by the
Great Western Railway, who built Torquay Station, Rathmore
Road (qv) in 1878. This bridge was probably built in 1892 when
the track was widened.
