What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone canal bridge, built c.1828, carrying road over Ballinasloe branch of Grand Canal. Elliptical arch with ashlar soffit and tooled voussoirs. Splayed approach walls, squared rubble stone to parapets and dressed snecked stone below cut-stobne string course. Dressed stone copings. Dressed and cut-stone revetments to canal.
Pollboy Bridge is a typically well built canal bridge and a valuable part of the architectural and industrial heritage of County Galway. Although humble in form this structure has a simple and functional elegance. It is robustly built in good limestone masonry and a testament to the long-term ambitions of the Grand Canal Company at the start of the nineteenth century.
