Annagh Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Annagh Bridge gives the Newport River three arches: a big one in the middle and two smaller ones beside it. That's a father holding two children apart after being told to take them out somewhere.

Triple-arch road bridge over the River Newport, built c. 1820. Snecked limestone and sandstone walls with render copings to parapet walls. Rusticated sandstone and limestone voussoirs to segmental-headed arches. Limestone and sandstone V-cutwaters to north and south elevations. Pipe to south elevation.

This robust and elegantly proportioned bridge forms an attractive focal point spanning the Newport River. The symmetry created by the central arch and flanking smaller arches is a notable feature indicative of high quality design. The bridge serves as a reminder of the skill of craftsmen and engineers.
