Description
Triple-arch hump-backed road bridge over river, built c. 1800. Rubble sandstone and limestone walls and parapets with dressed limestone voussoirs and soffits to round arches, central arch being higher than flankers. V-cutwaters to west elevation. North-western arch now disused. Sandstone and limestone rubble masonry and concrete buttresses to west approach wall.
Appraisal
The sweeping expanse and the skilfully-engineered arches of this bridge are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen.
