Description

The Town Bridge is an early 19th-century structure made of ashlar, likely Bath stone. It features a simple three-centred arch with a chamfered voussoir band, and there is a smaller similar arch over the tow path. At road level, there is a plain string, and the bridge has a solid parapet.
