Avon Mill Lane Bridge (MLN111350)

MATERIALS: pennant stone throughout, squared and coursed on the faces and soffit, ashlar dressings for voussoirs, quoins, string course and copings.

DESCRIPTION: depressed, four-centred arch of 16ft (5m) span with a simple chamfered profile terminating at the footings in chamfer stops. Low continuous chamfered plinth around the external faces and the carriageway faces. Soffit and carriageway faces unaltered throughout. On both sides, the archway flanked by buttresses, whose coped caps support a plain string course running across the face. Plain parapet above with chamfered coping. Faces continue beyond buttresses as straight wing walls, terminating in piers. On the south (Down) side, a course rubble retaining wall alongside the roadway abuts the buttress west of the arch at right angles, and another lower retaining wall does the same against the east buttress on the north (Up) side. Late C20 steel tubular steel railings attached to the north (Up) parapet and the metal plates fixed to the arch ring highlighting the low headroom are not of special interest.
