What is recorded here
Bridge in Canbrack puts pointed stone noses into the Glore River, splitting the water between three arches. Even the river gets the wedding treatment here: you’re through that door, you’re through this one, and we’re keeping those two branches apart.
Three-arch road bridge over river, extant 1895. Coursed cut-limestone walls centred on tooled limestone ashlar triangular cutwaters to piers on shuttered concrete battered bases with lichen-covered rock faced cut-limestone coping to parapets. Series of three segmental arches with tooled limestone ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Glore River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge representing an integral component of the later nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Mayo with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the sheer limestone dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arches making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Glore River.
