What is recorded here
Assaroola Bridge puts such enormous walls above such a small arch that you'd swear the river had arrived for an interview. ‘And how much water have you brought with you?’ ‘Just myself today.’
Single-arch sandstone road bridge, built c. 1800, with coursed rubble walls with render copings to parapets. Dressed voussoirs to segmental-headed arches.
This modest bridge, which crosses the Assaroola River, is indicative of the skill of nineteenth-century craftsmen. The small scale of the arch is emphasised by the tall, solidly built walls.
