Description
ASHPRINGTON SX85NW BOW 6/37 BOW BRIDGE 11.11.52
GV II
Road bridge over Harbourne River. Probably late C17 or early C18, widened in early to mid Cl9. Local stone rubble and slate. Single span hump-back bridge with dressed slate round arch. The parapets have vertical slate lacing and dressed stone coping. The parapets are swept out over the abutments which extend a long way to the south west under which there is a very small flood arch with a slate lintel. The bridge has a span of about 5 metres. It was originally about 3 metres wide but was widened on the downstream side in the early to mid C19 with a finely dressed stone arch. Leland in the C16 mentioned a bridge between Ashprington and Cornworthy but this bridge probably no earlier than the late C17. Source: Henderson C. and Jervoise E., Old Devon Bridges page 39.
