Description
Triple-arch road bridge, built c.1840, with a disused flood gate to the south elevation and breakwaters to north elevation. Rubble stone walls with ashlar limestone breakwaters and voussoirs.
Appraisal
The rubble stone used for the construction of this bridge contrasts with the ashlar voussoirs and breakwaters, which are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The remains of the flood gates act as a reminder of a time when the water flow was controlled.
