Description
Heyrod Bridge is a road bridge built in the mid to late 1840s by A S Jee, located at the junction of Spring Bank Lane and Wakefield Road in Heyrod, a semi-rural area within Stalybridge. The bridge carries Spring Bank Lane over the Huddersfield & Manchester Railway line and slopes downwards to the east due to the terrain.
The bridge features similar detailing on both sides and is made of coursed local sandstone with ashlar dressings. It has a segmental arched span with rusticated voussoirs that have tooled faces, which spring from an ashlar impost band. Above the arch, there is a projecting carriageway band that resembles a stringcourse, along with a low parapet made of coursed stone topped with flat ashlar coping stones that include pyramidal stops. The projecting wing walls at the western end of the bridge are splayed, while those on the eastern side curve around to the southeast, following the line of Spring Bank Lane. A small section at the base of the south parapet on the road side has been repaired with red brick.
