Description
Nunn's Bridge is a footbridge built in 1892, designed and crafted by local blacksmith and social activist Henry ‘Dick’ Nunn. The bridge is constructed from wrought iron, with timber decking, mass concrete abutments, and tubular steel outriggers.
This single-span bridge, which measures approximately 9.2 meters, is aligned north-south over the River Blackwater. Its gently-arched structure features wrought-iron carriage beams supported by collars with a semi-elliptical arch at the center, along with braces, tubular steel outriggers, and concrete abutments that were replaced around 1965. The carriageway has deck timbers, which were most recently replaced around 2011, laid on regularly-spaced wrought-iron rungs.
On each side of the bridge, a plain wrought-iron handrail is supported by eight vertical posts, with the central six having horizontal support plates and curved stays that extend outward towards the river. Each entrance to the bridge is equipped with a swing gate to limit livestock access.
