The footbridge off Mill Lane in Preston is a structure that possibly dates from the 16th century, though it may be from a later period. It is made of limestone and features a cobbled footway surface. The bridge has a single segmental arch that creates a humpback shape, with overall dimensions of 2.7 meters by 4.7 meters. The arch is built from squared stones.
