Appraisal
This bridge displays the work of skilled craftsmen in the execution of its stone work especially visible in the finishes to the rock-faced cut voussoirs, stringcourses and cutwaters making it visually appealing. Retaining its original form, it highlights the achievements of nineteenth-century engineering and makes a positive contribution to the surrounding landscape.
