What is recorded here

Single-span road-over-river bridge, built c. 1820. Rubble limestone east and west walls, tooled ashlar coping, retaining wall along road, buttresses along upstream (west) side, semi-circular tower abutments to north-east, north-west, south-east and south-west; loops to upstream (east) side, battered to downstream (west) side. Segmental arch, rubble limestone voussoirs; rough limestone paving to river bed under bridge. Bitmac two-way carriageway, bitmac pavement with concrete kerb to east side, wall with railings between rubble stone piers to east side of south approach . Spans north-south River Mattock at southern approach to village.

This unusual bridge, whose unprepossessing appearance by road belies its complexity, is a striking addition to the architectural heritage of Collon. The sheer scale of the abutments is striking. Rubble stonework throughout is well handled.
