Description
The ornamental bridge over the Rising Brook, located about 100 meters south-west of Lakeside, was built in the 1790s for Assheton Curzon of Hagley Hall, possibly by Joe Illidge of Northwich and Lostock.
This single-span bridge features a low segmental arch made from rusticated V-jointed voussoirs with vermiculated rustication. The abutments display shallow rustication with V-jointed ashlar, and a stone coping band carved with vitruvian scroll ornamentation runs along the top of the stonework. Above this is a wrought-iron balustrade, decorated with a lattice pattern on the lower section and a band of concentric circles above it. A cast-iron handrail tops the balustrade, although a section on the west face is missing. The bridge has four circular stone end piers, each topped with stone vases; the vase on the south-west pier is inscribed "JOE ILLIDGE NORTHWICH," while the one on the north-west pier reads "JOE ILLIDGE LOSTOCK."
