London Road Bridge (MNL13346)

London Road Bridge is a Grade II listed structure made of original handmade red brick, laid in English bond, with some areas patched in red engineering brick, particularly around the arch rings. While Bourne mentions stone dressings including a cornice and caps, only the coping appears to be made of stone today.

The bridge features three semi-elliptical spans, with the central arch measuring approximately 48 feet (14.6 meters) and the side arches around 44 feet (13.4 meters). The central arch is slightly higher than the others. It has tall, tapered piers, each with a single transverse arch that has been rebuilt as a blind arch. The impost bands are rendered, and there is a brick roll moulded string course on the high mileage (east) elevation, while the string course on the low mileage (west) elevation is mostly missing, with only a small fragment surviving at the northern end. The abutments and wing walls are raked and gently curved, with the north-west abutment curving to align with the original turnpike road (Old Bath Road).

Both parapets have been recently rebuilt in red engineering brick, although the low mileage side retains some original brickwork, including a chamfered plinth. The parapet coping on the low mileage elevation is made of modern reconstituted stone, while the high mileage elevation features re-used original shallow-pitched coping stones.

The bridge is generally not visible in the wider landscape because it is situated in a cutting, but it can be seen from Warren Road Bridge.
