Description
LANSALLOS POLPERRO SX 2050-2150 6/78 Roman Bridge (previously listed as bridge on edge of harbour near the 21.8.64 House on the Props) GV II
Road bridge at head of Polperro harbour over stream. Remodelled after 1854. Stone rubble with dressed round stone arch with long granite keystone on harbour side. Harbour side with parapet slightly splayed over abutments and continued to south to form west wall of the harbour (qv). Narrow parapet on west side over stream running between House on Props (qv) and coal sheds, now shops to south west. An early photograph taken by Lewis Harding in circa 1854 illustrating a thrasher shark on a cart in Polperro shows the bridge in the background. Here the stone rubble bridge has a flat timber lintel rather than the present dressed stone arch. Photograph of fish quay at turn of the C19 illustrates the present bridge in the background. de Burlet, S Portrait of Polperro 1977 p 6 Lanyon, A The Rooks of Trelawne 1976.
