Description
Walton Lea Bridge is a road bridge, likely built around 1770 by James Brindley for the Duke of Bridgewater. It carries the drive from Walton Lea Road across the Bridgewater Canal to Walton Hall Park. The bridge is constructed of stone-dressed brown brick and features a deep segmental arch with a raised stone band around the brick voussoirs. It has quadrant abutments with rounded flush copings made of stone and square stone-coped end-piers. The parapets, which were probably added around 1838, include rectangular recessed panels. Additionally, there is an oak rubbing-post for towropes located at the west corner of the south abutment.
