Bridge near Dauntsey (MLN18830)

The bridge near Dauntsey is a Grade II listed structure. It features original handmade red brick in some areas, particularly in the piers and soffits, while the rest of the elevations and parapets have been entirely refaced in red engineering brick with purple engineering brick detailing, laid in English bond.

The bridge has a sweeping humpback profile with elegantly concave elevations. It includes a central arch with a standard span of 30 feet (9 meters) and side arches that are the same height but have a span of approximately 15 feet (4.5 meters) and a more rounded profile. Each pier has a single transverse arch, which is now infilled. There is a chamfered purple engineering brick string course, originally moulded. The parapets end in piers that project only on the outer face at the ends of the curved wing walls. The inner face of the parapets features low chamfered plinths. The coping is made of bull-nosed purple engineering brick, except for the terminating piers, which are constructed from quarry-faced stone blocks.
