Description
The bridge over the moat at Hulme Hall has origins dating back to the 15th century but now has an appearance typical of the 18th century. It is constructed from red sandstone, which was originally dry jointed but has since been pointed in cement-mortar. The bridge features two arches with ogee edge moulding and cavetto drips. Triangular cutwaters rise to buttress level and are recessed to create seats. The parapets are splayed back on both sides at the approaches, and there are seating areas at the pier ends and at the points of the cutwaters, which seem to have once supported lamp columns. The coping of the parapet is in an astragal form, although some sections have been replaced with a plain two-way weathered coping.
