Description

The bridge to the west of West Mills dates from the mid-19th century and is constructed of ashlar stone. It features three segmental arches and cutwaters. The bridge has a low coped parapet that returns to the west and then north at the northern end, continuing as a dwarf wall that extends north to Mill House. This wall is accompanied by contemporary iron railings topped with ornamental spearhead finials, and there is a similar iron gate at the northern end.
