New Bridge

New Bridge is a bridge over the River Fowey, built in the late 15th century but largely rebuilt, giving it the appearance of a mostly 19th-century structure. It is constructed from slatestone and granite rubble and features three arches. On the upstream side, there are two round granite arches to the south with granite voussoirs, and one smaller round arch to the north with a slate arch ring, which may be remnants of the original bridge. On the downstream side, one smaller arch with a slate arch ring survives to the south, while the other two larger round arches have granite voussoirs. The bridge has two large triangular cutwaters on the upstream side and two smaller cutwaters on the downstream side. It measures approximately 18 metres long and 4 metres wide, with low parapet walls made of rubble and rough granite coping. New Bridge is located at the head of Glynn Park and was noted by Leland in 1535 as "of stone archid." Since its construction, the arches have been widened and patched.
