Old Bridge

Single-arch limestone road bridge, dated 1874, over the River Mulkear. Dressed walls having cut limestone stringcourse. Carved limestone plaque to west parapet wall. Abutting pier to south elevation. Cut and chamfered coping to parapet. Segmental arch with rusticated limestone voussoirs. Single-span rubble limestone bridges to east over drainage channel, one with decorative curved parapet and one having round arch with cut stone voussoirs.

The simple form of this single-arch road bridge is enhanced by the use of different stone finishes in its construction. It holds a historical significance as it was erected by the Mulkear River drainage district. It forms part of a group with two smaller bridges to the east. Plaque reads: 'Mulkear River Drainage District 1874. William Barrington Thomas Fosbery William S. Cox Engineers, J.W.B. Hill Resident Engineer, William Bredin Esq. J.P. Secretary, Michael Walsh Contractor'.
