What is recorded here

Double-arch road bridge over River Allow, dated 1834, having rubble sandstone walls and parapets with square-profile limestone piers having carved caps. Cut limestone name and date plaque to north elevation. Limestone V-cutwaters to north elevation.
This slightly hump-back road bridge was designed by Richard Griffith. It is solidly constructed with rubble sandstone masonry walls. The plaque is finely carved and is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the mid-nineteenth century.
