Bridge in Abington

Six-arch limestone road bridge over the River Mulkear, built c. 1740, with fabric dating back to earlier times. Rubble limestone and sandstone walls with limestone cappings and inscribed limestone plaque to west parapet wall. Roughly dressed limestone voussoirs to round-headed arches. Rubble limestone V-cutwaters to east elevation.

An elegantly proportioned bridge forming an attractive landmark on the River Mulkear. The engineering heritage significance of the composition is identified by the graceful span of arches, which have retained their original profile. The sixteenth-century limestone plaque is of particular interest for its finely carved lettering and heraldic plaque bearing the arms of Sir Edmund Walsh of Abington, exhibiting chevron gules, ermine and three erect pheons.
