Description

Beamishburn Bridge is a bridge built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone, featuring ashlar parapets and dressings. The bridge has two low segmental arches that include drip moulds and central cutwaters. These arches support a horizontal road, which has a road-bed-level band and slightly-chamfered parapets.
