Description
Ashford Bridge is a bridge over the River Fowey, built around 1870 and incorporating earlier piers. It is constructed of slatestone rubble and granite. The bridge features four spans with granite lintels and three piers that have cutwaters, made of dressed granite with corbels that support the lintels of the arches. The arches and cutwaters are identical on both the upstream and downstream sides. The bridge measures approximately 9 metres long and 3 metres wide, with parapet walls about one metre high, topped with roughly hewn granite copings. Ashford Bridge shares a similar construction style with Drayness Bridge.
