Appraisal
This stone bridge has been in use for at least 170 years and varying construction techniques are visible across its length. The combination of rubble and dressed limestone provides textural interest. The bridge adjoins of a small-scale milling complex and three of the arches cross a mill race to the west of the Kilcrow River.
