Description

East Woodburn Bridge is a masonry bridge built in the early 18th century and partially rebuilt in 1832. It features dressed and rusticated sandstone for the bridge itself, while the western approach is made of rougher sandstone blocks.

The bridge has a single span and includes a flood arch on the western approach. It is designed as a basket-arch bridge that carries a former drove road across the River Rede. The shallow, wide arch rises from short imposts and is constructed with rusticated voussoirs and a slightly projecting, narrow keystone, all beneath a rusticated, moulded string course. The arch is flanked by stepped piers topped with saddle cap stones, and the low parapet has similar coping stones, though shallower. One side of the parapet features an inscription within a cartouche that reads: ERECTED/?/COUNTY/1832.

At the eastern end of the bridge, there is a curving wing wall, while the western end has a straight approach that includes a smaller, round flood arch with springers. A faint engraving on the western end of the approach is believed to read 1715 or 1735.
