Description
Colber Bridge is a footbridge dated 1841, constructed from cast iron. It features coursed rubble piers and cutwaters, with four spans. The bridge has cast iron railings consisting of three rails, with uprights topped by round finials. At each end, there are cast iron five-bar gates. A concrete path runs across the bridge. In the center, the railings display plaques on each side, supported by scrolls, which read "Erected by J Conway 1841."
