Description
High Bridge, built in 1788, was designed by architect Robert Brettingham of Princes Street, Hanover Square. It features a single segmental arch that is rusticated and vermiculated, with a plain ashlar keystone. The spandrels have plain circular recessed panels. A curved string follows the pavement and is topped with a plain solid panelled balustrade and moulded coping. The balustrade curves outward at each end and is finished with a rectangular pier. This structure is noted for its graceful design and considerable architectural merit.
