Description
Single-arch road bridge over river, built c.1780. Rubble limestone walls with roughly dressed voussoirs and ashlar coping. Pedestrian refuge in the form of a stone seat built into parapet wall.
Appraisal
The long parapet walls leading to the bridge create a sense of anticipation. The combination of rubble and dressed limestone used in its construction provides rich textural interest. The stone seat which acts as a pedestrian refugee is an unusual feature of the bridge.
