By Brook Bridge (MLN110162)

MATERIALS: Bath stone ashlar with narrowly coursed rubble Bath stone walls/parapets above each arch, and patching in purple engineering brick.

DESCRIPTION: a semi-circular arch springing from water level. The lower part of each elevation is built in Bath stone ashlar, with the abutments / wing walls projecting only very slightly, and raked in towards, the springing point of the arch. Above the coping/string course there is a high wall-cum-parapet of squared and narrowly-coursed Bath stone rubble with iron railings on top.

The arch of the south (Down) side has giant rusticated voussoirs and emphatic keystone, filling the face to the abutments and the plain coping above. Almost all of this has been refaced, carefully, in engineering brick. Only the keystone and the outer parts of some keystones are still Bath stone. The north (Up) side face, by contrast, is plain ashlar, with smaller keystone and narrower coping. The soffits is mainly Bath stone, but with minor brick patching at the south (Down) end.
