The bridge carrying the Leeds-York main line over the Great North Road has an unusually flat arch to its 60ft span, which may be the reason for it having been strengthened with tie rods. It was built c.1834 by engineer James Walker, but only listed in 2015 at grade II (list entry 1419087), as an original underbridge on the Leeds & Selby Railway.
