Description
Wet Moor Bridge is a bridge built around 1800. It is constructed from coursed, squared sandstone and features tooled ashlar voussoirs. The bridge has a single span with a rusticated elliptical arch and a band-rusticated ashlar soffit. The projecting end piers are connected by an ashlar band beneath the parapet. The wing walls curve out at the north end but align abruptly with the approach road to the south. Some chamfered copings are missing. The bridge crosses the Dearne and Dove Canal, which was constructed following an act of 1793 and opened in 1804, although the canal has since been infilled in this parish.
