Yeo Bridge

Yeo Bridge is a road bridge over the Harbourne River, dated 1688, and was widened on the north side around the early 19th century. It is constructed of slate rubble and features a single span with a segmental arch. The voussoirs are made of long slates. The bridge originally had a hump-backed shape, and the original parapet remains, featuring vertical slate coping and an inscription tablet on the south side above the arch. When the bridge was widened on the north side, the abutments were lengthened and the parapets were raised, incorporating a segmental arch with dressed stone voussoirs and vertical slates in the parapet. The inscription tablet on the south side reads: "New built at the Counteys charges 1688 John Symons Gent, John Richards Tresurer." It is briefly mentioned by Henderson and Jervoise, noting that it had a single arch of 13 feet span carrying a 15 feet roadway early in the 19th century.
