Description
North Gill Bridge is a road bridge dated 1791, as indicated by the keystone on the east face. The bridge features later buttressing, a rebuilt parapet, and end walls. It has a dressed sandstone arch with flanking rubble parapets and end walls. The parapets have splayed ends, and both faces of the bridge have a small segmental arch with flush voussoirs. The east face displays the keystone dated 1791 and a wide battered buttress to the south. The west face has later abutments flanking the arch. The west parapet, approximately 10 meters long, is topped with rough triangular coping stones. The east parapet and flanking end walls, about 30 meters long, have similar coping stones, except for the rebuilt north end, which features large flat original coping stones. A metal plate with the bridge number (YNR 753) is affixed to the south end of the east wall. This bridge spans the parishes of Cotherstone and Lartington.
