Description
Blanchland Bridge, located partly in Northumberland, is a bridge that likely dates from the mid-18th century. It is constructed from tooled-and-margined stone, with the parapets and abutments made of coursed stone. The south end of the bridge is higher than the north end. It features an elliptical arch and a smaller round arch to the north, with a triangular cutwater positioned between them, extending up to the level of the impost band. This impost band continues along the broader abutments to a pilaster that connects with a band below the parapet. The parapet has sloped coping and is canted to accommodate the wider approach on the south side, terminating in square piers topped with low pyramidal coping.
