Description
The Eye Bridge is a river bridge built in 1773 and restored in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of brick with half-round brick coping and features ashlar piers. The bridge has a single semi-circular arch, which is flanked by smaller horseshoe arches on either side. The splayed parapet walls are supported by rectangular terminal piers that have half-round caps.
