Description
Grey's Bridge is a road bridge built in 1748 and widened in 1927. It is constructed of ashlar stone and reinforced concrete.
The bridge features three unequal spans, each with a round arch that has moulded archivolts. These arches spring from restored, pointed cutwaters, with the central arch being the widest at approximately 12 feet. Above the arches, at road level, there is a double plat-band. The name and date of the bridge, "GREYS BRIDGE 1748," are incised in contemporary lettering on an original tablet set into the parapet wall. The plain parapet wall has weathered coping and square returned wing walls over the abutments. Additionally, the parapets are stepped out at each end to create pedestrian refuges. The widened section of the bridge is made of reinforced concrete and is re-faced in the original stonework.
