Description
Single-arch road bridge over Multeen River, built c. 1840. Cut limestone walls with carved limestone impost course, string course and coping to parapet, and having cut limestone voussoirs to wide segmental arch. Rounded cut limestone piers to abutments with domed capping stones. Recent wall plaque to south parapet.
Appraisal
Hawarden Bridge is a well-designed and- executed bridge which is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The cut limestone walls, coupled with the piers and string courses, are unusually decorative for a rural bridge. This bridge makes a striking and positive contribution to the surrounding area.
