Description

SS 61 SE 1/62

EGGESFORD Taw Bridge

GV II

Road bridge over River Taw. Circa 1830. Coursed blocks of local iron stone with rock-faced ashlar detail; replacement concrete copng. Vertical abutments to single segmental arch in which some of the ashlar voussoirs are incised to appear as 2 headers for regularity. Plain string course ramping slightly towards the centre at road level. The parapet is ashlar on inside edges only. At each end the walls curve outward to terminal piers which project only externally. The form of the bridge is very similar to a number in the area. Lapford Bridge and Bury Bridge, Morchard Bishop, include plaques commemorating their erection in 1830 by Roger Tyler, builder, for the Trustees of the Exeter Turnpike.
