What is recorded here

Balbrigh Bridge has one arch and two credit plaques: “DUNDERRY DRAINAGE 1902” and “BALBRIGH BRIDGE 1904”. You’d swear the river had refused to pass underneath until both committees got a mention.

0 / 600

Single-arch road bridge over river, dated 1902 and 1904, with pair of plaques inscribed: "DUNDERRY DRAINAGE 1902" and "BALBRIGH BRIDGE 1904".
The execution of the masonry of this well constructed road bridge is of particular interest. Clearly the work of skilled craftsmen, the rock-faced stone work adds textural interest to this modest bridge.
