What survives

Why it mattered

Lennox's Bridge — GUBACREENY matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Lennox's Bridge crosses the Drowes River, which is the border between Counties Leitrim and Donegal. This bridge is similar in style and construction to Mullanaleck Bridge found further up river. Of particular interest are the full-height V-cutwaters located both up- and down-river. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
