Drain Bridge

Drain Bridge is a bridge that likely dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed from ashlar and rock-faced sandstone and limestone. The bridge features a single span with a segmental arch that rises from vertical abutment walls. The coped parapet walls slope down and continue as splayed wing walls, which end in rounded piers. The downstream side of the bridge has been reinforced and altered; the abutment wall has hollow recesses that were once part of a lock structure (now no longer present) used to control the flow between Bramwith Drain and Kirk Bramwith New Cut.
