Description
The carved stone bridge, built in 1912, is a small structure located over a waterfall in a brook. It is constructed from sandstone blocks and ashlar. The bridge features a segmental arch made with dressed voussoirs and carved keystones. Its balustrades and curved approach walls are designed in the Jacobean style, complete with turned stone balusters, panelled pedestals, ball finials, and ramped coping. On the inner face of the left approach wall at the south end, there is an inscribed tablet that commemorates the bridge's erection in honour of William Balle Huntington by the employees of The Wallpaper Manufacturers Ltd. on 9th November 1912.
