Description
Double-arch limestone road bridge over river, built c.1830. Segmental arches with cut-stone voussoirs and squared stone soffits. Squared limestone parapet walls with rubble stone copings. Cement rendered V-cutwaters to elevations.
Appraisal
This well-executed stone bridge is a picturesque landmark on the river, employing local materials in its construction, with cut limestone to the voussoirs, soffits, spandrels, parapet wall and buttresses. That Wallace's Bridge remains in use in its present form is testament to the quality of its construction.
