What is recorded here

Five-arch road bridge over River Anner, built c. 1800. Rubble limestone walls, having elliptical centre arch flanked by pointed segmental arches, all arches having roughly-dressed voussoirs, and having V-cutwaters to north elevation, render copings to parapets.
Known locally as the "Five-Eye Bridge", it inspired C. J. Kickham to write "Saint John's Eve." The variation in arch types is pleasing and the rubble stone walls provide textural interest.
