Description
STOKE FLEMING BLACKPOOL SX84NE Blackpool Bridge 6/147 II
Road bridge over a stream known as Blackpool Lake. Probably C18 or early C19 or C18 with early C19 alterations. Slate rubble. Small segmental arch and a smaller round flood arch on the east side. The arches have dressed slate voussoirs. The south side is corbelled out over the main arch, possi- bly because of road widening. The road level is high above the arches but the parapets are low and have vertical dressed slate coping with vertical slate lacing. The improvements to the bridge might have been made for the Knightsbridge- Dartmouth Turnpike Trust. Jones Green the County Surveyor of Bridges de- scribed the bridge in 1809 as being 4 feet wide, therefore an earlier bridge ought to be buried in the later rebuilding. Source: C. Henderson and E.
