West Bridge Over River Poulter

The West Bridge over the River Poulter is a road bridge dated 1789. It is constructed of red brick, faced with ashlar and rock face ashlar. The west side features three red brick arches that are faced with ashlar and have rock face ashlar architraves. Each arch is flanked by single rock face ashlar piers, totaling four, which rise to support a balustraded ashlar parapet resting on a rock face ashlar band. At the base of the piers are single round-arched niches that extend up to the band. On either side of the bridge are single coped ashlar swept walls with a plain band that runs from the bridge band, terminating in single circular piers with moulded tops. The left/north rock face ashlar pier displays a plaque featuring the family crest of Pelham Clinton, Dukes of Newcastle of Clumber Park, dated 1789. The east side mirrors the west side but lacks rock face ashlar and the dated plaque, instead featuring single culverts with round arches flanking the arches. Below the arches, the river cascades down steps.
