What is recorded here
Single-arch masonry road bridge, erected c.1850, with coursed rock-faced stone walls with cut stone voussoirs to segmental arch-ring, ashlar piers to ends and tooled string course. Random coursed stone retaining wall to upstream south bank, creating a landing place with concrete steps leading from road.
Finely-executed stonework is a notable feature of this bridge, which is important to the town in social and infrastructural terms. A striking variation is created between the rock-faced stonework and cut stone voussoirs and as a result the modestly-scaled bridge is elevated in its architectural design.
