Description
The footbridge, built in 1812, is an iron pedestrian structure made by the Coalbrookdale Company for the former Egginton Hall estate. It features an elliptical arch with spandrels designed with pierced patterns and diminishing circles. On either side of the arch, the inscription "Coalbrookdale 1812" can be found. The bridge originally had twelve principal balusters, of which six remain. Each baluster has a tapering shaft that is square in section, with twisted fluting, and is secured to the main arch with ornate fish-tailed scrolls, of which five remain. All intermediate twisted balusters are missing, and a small section of the handrail is still in place. The bridge spans the remains of the weir and sluices of Egginton Hall Lake and has birch abutments along with two arched sluices to Egginton, featuring engineering brick cutwaters.
