Description
Midge Hole Bridge is a medieval or post-medieval bridge featuring a later parapet. It has a single span that crosses Trawden Brook and is built from lightly dressed rubble stonework. One side of the arch begins from a large bedrock slab, while the other side is set at the bottom of the stream bed. The bridge features a segmental arch made of neatly laid, roughly wedge-shaped voussoirs. Additionally, there is a low, slightly splayed parapet made from similar stonework.
