Description
Avon Mill Lane Bridge is a Grade II listed structure made of pennant stone, which is squared and coursed on the faces and soffit, with ashlar dressings for the voussoirs, quoins, string course, and copings. The bridge features a depressed, four-centred arch that spans 16 feet (5 meters) and has a simple chamfered profile that ends in chamfer stops at the footings. There is a low continuous chamfered plinth around the external faces and the carriageway faces, which remain unaltered.
On both sides of the archway, there are buttresses topped with coped caps that support a plain string course running across the face. Above this, there is a plain parapet with chamfered coping. The faces extend beyond the buttresses into straight wing walls that end in piers. On the south side, a coursed rubble retaining wall runs alongside the roadway and meets the buttress west of the arch at a right angle, while another lower retaining wall does the same against the east buttress on the north side. Late 20th-century steel tubular railings are attached to the north parapet, and metal plates fixed to the arch ring indicate the low headroom, but these features are not of special interest.
