Description
The Canal Bridge over the Bude Canal is a Grade II listed structure built in 1820, likely designed by James Green, the engineer for the Bude Canal. This stone rubble bridge features freestone dressings and has a single span with granite capped parapets that oversail a 2-centred arch. The Bude Canal, which runs between Bude and the termini at Holsworthy and Launceston, was constructed between 1819 and 1825, financed by the Bude Harbour and Canal Company. It was primarily built to transport sea sand, used as manure, to enhance farmland. Helebridge is significant as the point beyond which navigation was limited to tub boats, with goods transported by barges between Bude and Helebridge.
