Listowel Bridge, County Kerry

What is recorded here

Listowel Bridge has a ball alley attached, which rather ruins the excuse that you’re only nipping across the river. Three matches later, you’re still on the same bank, defending your honour against a man who called you “handy enough”.

Five-arch road bridge over river, built 1829, with snecked limestone ashlar walls having string courses and piers. Swept-arched openings with ashlar archivolts and U-cutwaters to both faces. Attached cast-concrete ball alley, built c. 1930, to north-west abutment.
