Description
The bridge over the River Rib is an 18th-century road bridge constructed of red brick. It features a three-ring, three-centred arch with an in-curved base and brick parapet walls laid in Flemish bond, topped with special brick copings. The bridge has outswept wing walls that end in square piers, which are capped with stone. Below the brick coping, there is a dentilled brick course and a central pilaster on the south side. Additionally, a postbox is built into the northeast pier.
