Why it mattered
Anlore Bridge matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This bridge was built in a number of phases, as is evidenced by the varying levels of soffits and shapes of the arch rings. These traces of adaptation and change add an important patina of age to the site. It may have been built in conjunction with the adjacent corn mill, which itself was rebuilt on a number of occasions throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The bridge provides an important transport link and is indicative of the early improvements in the transport network from the eighteenth century. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
