Tuckenhay Bridge

Tuckenhay Bridge is a road bridge over a stream known as the River Wash. It likely dates from the 17th century and was widened in the early to mid 19th century. The bridge is constructed of stone rubble. On the upstream side, the original bridge features a single span segmented arch made of finely dressed and chamfered slate voussoirs that spring from slate imposts. The parapet and the eastern abutment appear to have been rebuilt during the widening in the early to mid 19th century on the downstream side. This side has a segmented arch with dressed limestone voussoirs that spring from vertical jambs. The stone rubble parapets have roughly dressed stone coping and are swept out at the west end; the north parapet extends about 15 meters to the northwest. Tuckenhay Bridge is not mentioned in Henderson's and Jervoise's 'Old Devon Bridges'.
