Description
The West Bridge, also known as St Thomas Bridge or the Footbridge Riverside, is a late medieval packhorse bridge located over a river in Launceston. It is constructed from slatestone rubble with large slate dressings and features wrought-iron railings. The bridge has five spans, with two cut-waters and four-centred arches on the upstream side and one arch on the downstream side. Late 19th-century railings and a central cast-iron lamp are also present. Currently, only the arch heads are visible, as the piers are submerged due to the river's silting.
