Description
The south-eastern of the two Shavington Bridges is located approximately 600 metres southwest of Bankhouse Farmhouse. This bridge, likely built in the late 18th century, was widened in 1940. It is constructed from red sandstone ashlar and features a single segmental arch with flanking pilaster buttresses and quadrant wing walls. A moulded string course runs along the parapet, which has square end piers that are missing globe finials. 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 the minor road from Adderley to Wilkesley across the River Duckow, at a location where the river has been widened to create an ornamental lake known as the Long Pool. Bankhouse Farmhouse is not included in this listing.
