Description

BURNLEY

SD8432SE TODMORDEN ROAD, Burnley Wood 906-1/21/180 Hand Bridge 29/09/77

GV II

Public road bridge over River Calder. Perhaps built when Todmorden Road was turnpiked in 1817, but appears to be dated 1866 on east side; widened on west side in C20. The east side has a very low semi-elliptical arch with rusticated run-out voussoirs decorated with a free and inventive form of vermiculation which includes primitive foliation, faces, and the date "1866" low on the left; a plain band, parapet with rounded coping, a rectangular terminal pier to the south, and a 7m continuation south of this incorporating a stone baffle gateway (damaged).
