What is recorded here

Four-arch rubble limestone bridge, built c.1850, spanning River Stick. Round-headed arches with dressed limestone voussoirs and soffits springing from rubble limestone piers with rendered V-cutwaters to east elevation. Rubble limestone spandrels and parapet walls with solider limestone coping, dressed string course and inscribed limestone name and date plaque. Section of parapet to east elevation having concrete repairs.

This well-executed and maintained substantial bridge displays well-executed masonry. It is indicative of the skill of craftsmen and engineers of the time.
