Description

Crossford Bridge over the River Font is a bridge dated 1846, as noted on a panel in the internal face of the north parapet. It is constructed from tooled and margined stone and features a single broad elliptical arch. Below the parapet, there is a band, and the parapets have shallow gabled coping that flares out to square piers topped with pyramidal caps. The piers extend down the external walls as pilasters. There are later 19th-century ramped abutment walls made of tooled squared stone with rock-faced coping. The internal face of each parapet has large rounded glinters at the center and ends, although the one at the south-east end is missing.
