What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over Mattock River, built c. 1840. Random rubble stone walls, dressed limestone coping to parapet, parapet replaced to east. Segmental-headed arches, ashlar limestone voussoirs. Recessed niche to west parapet with flight of stone steps leading to water level. Random rubble stone retaining walls to north and south.
Woodmill Bridge is a simple bridge built of traditional construction and is an attractive feature of the Mattock riverscape. The voussoirs to the arch niche and stairs leading down to water level are worthy of note. Woodmill Bridge is representative of modest bridges and is of a technical interest due to the skills involved in its construction.
