Description
Single-span demesne bridge over River Suir, dated 1928, comprising segmental-arched wrought-iron lattice girders with wrought-iron horizontal rails and having rendered terminating piers with date 1928 and initials of Richard Butler, plinths and moulded caps surmounted with birds of prey.
Appraisal
This bridge is an interesting example of early twentieth-century engineering, being of reinforced concrete and wrought-iron. It is ocated adjacent to the Swiss Cottage and its stark construction contrasts with the ornate qualities of the latter, making it a notable and positive contribution to the surrounding area
