Description
Hurst (South) Bridge is the largest of the originally three bridges over the water meadows of the River Frome near Moreton, built in 1834 to designs by Dorset's County Surveyor, William Evans.
This eight-span bridge is made of brick, featuring Portland stone cut-waters and copings, with footings of Ridgeway flagstone. It has eight segmental arches supported by piers that have rounded cut-waters between them. The cut-waters are straight-sided and topped with rounded edges that align with the tops of the arches. In the center of the bridge, there is a large diamond-shaped pier with a triangular cut-water at each end that extends up to the level of the parapet, creating a pedestrian refuge. The ends of the parapet walls curve outward and are capped with small brick piers.
