What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone bridge, built c.1860, carrying road over Kilcrow River. Segmental arch with rusticated voussoirs and cut-stone soffit. Rusticated cut-stone walls, with slightly projecting piers to ends of elevations. Cut-stone string course and snecked cut-stone parapet walls with tooled coping stones.
A notable feat of engineering, this asymmetrical bridge is designed to carry a road over a near-parallel river, and as such the tunnel of the arch runs diagonally under the road rather than at right angles. The skill of nineteenth-century stonemasons is evident not just in the decorative effects with the straight margins to the rusticated voussoirs, but in the precision cutting of irregular forms.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
