Description
Lowman Bridge is a bridge over the River Lowman, located at the eastern end of Gold Street in Tiverton. It was built in 1851, with the south side widened in 1911. The bridge is constructed from squared stone rubble and features well-cut voussoirs for the arches, along with cast-iron balustrades. It consists of three elliptical arches, with the south side extending in a semicircle to support a statue of King Edward VII. The piers have cutwaters on both sides.
The balustrades include a series of narrow, round-arched open panels topped with a handrail. At intervals, there are square iron piers with panelled sides and ball finials. Each end of the balustrade has an oblong stone pier with a low pyramidical cap. On the eastern pier of the south side, there is a stone tablet that reads, "THIS BRIDGE WAS WIDENED DURING THE MAYORALTY OF ALDERMAN WEST THORNE 2nd NOV.er 1911." Above the eastern cutwater on the south side, there is another worn tablet that appears to read, "LOWMAN BRIDGE WIDENED 1911." The foundation stone for the bridge was laid in October 1851 by John Heathcoat, MP for Tiverton. The previous bridge, also made of stone but with two arches, was "repaired and nearly rebuilt" in 1772.
