Disused Bridge At Two Bridges

LEWANNICK SX 28 SE 2/35 Disused bridge at Two Bridges II Road bridge over Penpont Water, a tributary of the River Inny and over the flood plain to the north. Probably C18 partly rebuilt in the C19. Stone rubble with granite dressings. The bridge appears to have been partly rebuilt and has a C19 dressed granite rounded arch with flat string band above. The stone rubble parapets have granite coping and are splayed over the abutments terminating in granite piers with domed caps. The bridge continues over the flood plain on the north and may also be approached from the field to the east, where a ramp leads up to join the road surface of the bridge. The bridge is close to the confluence of Penpont Water and the River Inny and probably once extended to the north, to cross the River Inny. The widening and diverting of the A30 and the building of two C20 bridges over the two rivers has now rendered this bridge redundant for traffic. However, it is now used as a depot for road surfacing material by Cornwall County Council.
