What is recorded here

Five-span mass-concrete bridge, erected c.1930, over Island River. Comprises flat deck with chamfered base to elevations, parapets having tall rectangular drainage holes, and copings. Piers have triangular-plan cutwaters with rounded tops. Flared approach walls to ends of bridge.
This bridge is an interesting engineering structure of the early twentieth century, continuing the use of concrete that commenced in the late nineteenth century and its detailing is typical of the era. The bridge replaces a ford that previously provided safe passage across the Island River.

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