Grade II Listed the bridge dated 1860 in the brickwork is also known as the '1860 Bridge'. The 90ft span is considered one of the finest brick-built, single span bridges in the country. Broad Hill Quarry became the first industrial operation to have its own branch line and sidings and by 1863 the line was carrying 200 tonnes of granite per day. The Mountsorrel Granite Company was bought by Redland Aggregates in 1959 and the mineral line closed soon afterwards. Now the bridge carries a conveyor, transporting crushed stone to Barrow and the sidings.
