Description
The bridge over Rookhope Burn, located in Stanhope Eastgate, dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of sandstone ashlar. It features a wide segmental arch on the east side, which is adorned with voussoirs and roll-moulding. On the west side, there are two smaller segmental land arches, also with voussoirs. The bridge has a central south cutwater and a band at road-bed level beneath a chamfered parapet, which includes a pedestrian refuge above the cutwater. Additionally, there is a square pier with pyramidal coping at the south-west corner of the parapet.
