Bridge Over River To South West Of Longford Mill

The bridge over the river to the southwest of Longford Mill is a road bridge built in 1842 for Thomas Coke, Earl of Leicester. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings. The bridge features a wide basket-headed arch with raised stone voussoirs and a central keystone. On either side, there are smaller stiled semi-circular headed arches, also with raised stone voussoirs. The brick spandrels are topped with a plain raised stone band, and the brick parapets are finished with flat stone copings. The walls curve upwards gently towards the center and end in brick piers with large coping stones. On the north wall facing the road, there is a Silver Jubilee plaque, as well as another plaque inscribed with 'These county bridges were erected at the sole expense of Thomas, William, Earl of Leicester AD MDCCC XLII'.
