Description
The north-western of the two Shavington Bridges is located approximately 650 metres south-west of Bankhouse Farmhouse. This bridge, likely built in the late 18th century, was widened in 1940. It is constructed from grey sandstone ashlar and features two segmental arches with round-topped circular breakwaters and flanking pilaster buttresses. The bridge has quadrant wing walls, a moulded string course along the parapet, and square end piers topped with globe finials, although only one finial remains at the north-west end as of July 1986. Originally built by the estate, this bridge and its counterpart were widened by the County Council in 1940, reusing the existing ashlar masonry. The bridges carry a minor road from Adderley to Wilkesley across the River Duckow, which has been widened to create an ornamental lake known as the Long Pool. Bankhouse Farmhouse is in Adderley civil parish and is not included in this listing.
