What is recorded here
Triple-arch limestone masonry road bridge over Aherlow River, built c.1860, having ashlar walls to side elevations with piers projecting beyond each elevation and having rusticated U-cutwaters to each elevation and having rectangular-profile pilasters over cutwaters above level of springing of arches. Segmental arches with rusticated limestone voussoirs. Pipe to west elevation.
College Bridge is a well designed and finely executed bridge, which was clearly constructed by skilled craftsmen. The arches springing from the rusticated plinths form an attractive, rhythmical silhouette in the landscape. The ashlar masonry fits tightly together and was cut with a high degree of precision. The juxtaposition of the ashlar and rusticated limestone masonry form an interesting textural contrast. A pleasing symmetry is created by the cutwaters, which are present on both upstream and downstream elevations.
