DURNFORD LITTLE DURNFORD SU 13 SW 10/273 Little Durnford Bridge 18.2.58

• II Accommodation bridge over River Avon. C18, parapets possibly rebuilt later. Limestone. Four low segmental arches with flush voussoirs carrying large squared limestone blocks beneath a continuous moulded horizontal string with projecting brackets or corbels over each cutwater; above this the parapet, c800 mm high from roadway, in in squared stone of a different quarry, to chamfered coping with flat top. At each end parapet terminates in square pier set at a slight angle; on three abutments large squared blocks follow the alignments of the river banks for c 3 or 4 m, with no cappings or copings. On the south-east abutment is a length of wall at coping height and similar in detail to the parapet structure, running c 4m beside the river. A handsome structure apparently in good condition.
