Road bridge. Early C19 or earlier, altered in C20. Red brick in English bond, with moulded V copings of red clay. Aligned NNW-SSE, with 2 segmental arches aligned to river, NE-SW, and 4 buttresses each side. Long approach ramp to S, shorter approach ramp to N, both with brick walls to each side similar to those of the bridge. Strengthened in C20 with concrete arches. Iron ties through the springs and buttresses, with S-plates and cast iron roundels, of which one on each side has a foliate pattern, and a cast iron oval plate on the E side of the S approach, half-sunk in the ground. On the E side of the N approach some copings have been replaced in moulded concrete blocks of V form. On the W side of the S approach the brick wall has been rebuilt in modern brick, with the original copings replaced.
