Alderman Reilly's Bridge

Double-arch stone road bridge over river, built c. 1770, with brick U-shaped cutwater. Ashlar limestone voussoirs with rubble stone walls and parapet.

This bridge was built in the late eighteenth century to connect Reilly's Marsh with the North Mall. The bridge is an interesting reminder of the form and materials which were utilised in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century in the construction of these functional structures. The bridge later formed part of a group with the distillery related structures to the site. The North Mall Distillery which was founded in 1779, was later renamed Cork Distilleries and remains partly in use as a distillery related complex.
