Soldier's Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge over river, built c.1860. Cut-stone walls with rubble parapets terminating in piers to abutments. High segmental arch having cut-stone voussoirs. Rubble walls to raised causeway of approaching road.

The imposing height of this single-arch bridge, while dictated by the landscape, lends it an imposing, rather Gothic character, appropriate for both the period in which it was built and the name it has been given. The structure was engineered to suit local river conditions and stands as a testament to the skills and craftsmanship of local stonemasons.
