Description
This is a bridge dated 1857, located approximately 100 metres to the west of Brook House in Bitterley. It is constructed of brick and ashlar and features a single-span road bridge over Ledwyche Brook. The bridge has a brick segmental arch made of polychrome brick. It includes inclined brick parapet walls that connect to curved brick retaining approach walls, which have piers at both ends and at the mid-span. The piers are topped with pyramid ashlar copings. There is an inscribed stone set into the central pier that displays the date 1857 and the initials CHRB, which refer to Sir Charles Henry Rouse-Boughton of Downton, who was the landlord and lord of the manor, and a significant mid-19th century improver of his estates.
