What is recorded here

Single-arched rock-faced limestone bridge over River Abbert, built c.1860. Segmental arch with cut limestone voussoirs to arch rings, and squared and snecked random rubble limestone to spandrels. String course above arches, with squared and snecked limestone parapets with copings. Tarmacadamed carriageway. Random rubble limestone walls to adjacent fields.
This solid road bridge bears much similarity in design and materials to the railway bridges being built in the area at the time by the Midland Great Western Railway. It carries traffic over the Abbert River and its roughly hewn limestone copings and string course give the bridge an attractive appearance. It is a visually striking addition to the architectural and industrial heritage of the area.
