Tarleton Bridge

Tarleton Bridge is a public road bridge over the River Douglas, dated 1821, as indicated by the keystone on the south side. The bridge is constructed from large rock-faced blocks of sandstone and features three spans with segmental arches. The south side has rusticated voussoirs, and the center arch includes a keystone inscribed with "A. 1821 D." Triangular cutwaters with concave chamfers are present, along with parapets made of large tooled blocks that have rounded coping and panelled pilasters above the cutwaters. The north side mirrors these features, but the arches are made of red sandstone, and a longitudinal joint in the soffit suggests that they are remnants of a previously narrower bridge. The voussoirs on this side are recessed, topped with an arch band.
