Description

The bridge over Ashgill Beck, located on the north side of the B6277 at Ashgill Head, was likely built in the early 19th century for the London Lead Company. It is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. The bridge features a high segmental arch made of voussoirs, which is topped with round-coped parapets.
