Description

Glen Howe Packhorse Bridge is a packhorse bridge built in 1734. It was later moved to its current location in the late 19th century. The bridge is constructed of coursed packed stone and features a single elliptical arch that spans a broad distance. There is a band below the parapet that rises to a peak in the center. The parapets end in shaped stones at both ends, and on the north side, the wing walls bend at an obtuse angle. The causeway is paved with worn setts. Originally known as New Mill Bridge over Ewden Beck, it was re-erected in Glen Howe Park when the Ewden Reservoir was created. The bridge dates back to 1734 when Benjamin Milnes signed a contract with the inhabitants of Bolsterstone to replace a timber bridge.
