Victoria Bridge

Victoria Bridge is a road bridge dated 1864, built by contractors P Berry and Son from Sowerby Bridge for Major R Stansfield of Fieldhouse. The bridge is constructed of stone and cast iron and features two spans with a central stone pier that has a triangular face on the west side and a rounded face on the east side. The causeway base includes sunk panels with a raised pattern. On either side of the causeway, there are square end and central piers topped with pyramidal caps. The central piers have floral-decorated bases and display plaques that indicate the bridge's name, the contractor, and the patron. Between the piers, the railings consist of crossed diagonal, vertical, and horizontal struts, each with a patera at the center of the cross. The open iron-work design was intended to allow flood water to flow through.
