What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone bridge, built 1863, over the River Ara. Segmental arches with dressed stone voussoirs, dressed stone to spandrels, carved U-shaped cut-waters to south elevation and chamfered string course over arches with snecked roughly-dressed stone parapet walls and having abutments projecting from elevations of bridge, topped with caps. Commemorative date plaque to north parapet wall and cast-iron overflow hatch to south. Landscaped area to southwest bank.
Bansha Bridge is visually pleasing and well proportioned. High-quality craftsmanship is evident in the execution of the U-shaped cutwaters and the general stonework. Decorative appeal is recognized by the landscaped area, that incorporates public seating.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
