Triple-arch road bridge over River Blackwater, built c. 1780, of random rubble limestone construction with later concrete reinforcement to piers, having chanelled cut limestone voussoirs to round-headed arches. Rubble limestone V-cutwaters with later concrete reinforcement to west elevation.
Appraisal
This bridge is a reminder of the engineering achievements and the quality of local craftsmanship in the eighteenth century and has fine cut-stone detailing in its voussoirs.
