What is recorded here
Bridge in Bruff sweeps across the Morningstar in four grand arches, with iron ties helping hold the stonework together. It has the bearing of a man giving a wedding speech while knowing the safety pin in his trousers is doing heroic work.
Four-arch limestone road bridge over the River Morningstar, built c. 1820, with dressed walls with cast-iron ties and roughly dressed parapet walls. Cut voussoirs to the round-headed arches. V-cutwater to east elevation.
This solidly built, large sweeping bridge forms a prominent landmark in Bruff. Spanning the Morningstar River in a curve of graceful arches, the bridge is a technical, architectural and engineering achievement.
