Appraisal
Built in 1935 to replace an earlier structure this fine bridge attests to the skillfulness of its builders. The varied treatment of the stone is attractive making it an appealing addition to the small village of Mansfieldstown, it is an attractive bridge making a positive addition to both the streetscape and riverscape.
