Description
Morley Bridge is an 18th-century bridge constructed from deeply-coursed, squared sandstone. It features a triple span design with tooled voussoirs forming segmental arches, where the central arch is both wider and slightly taller than the others. The bridge has domed copings on its parapet, which rises to the center. The southern wing walls curve to align with the stream and end at round-ended piers, while the north-west wing wall returns at a right angle and finishes at a square-ended pier.
