Description

SX 88 SW 5/33 11.11.52

ASHTON LOWER ASHTON Spara Bridge

GV II*

Road bridge over the Teign. 1660 (datestone). Granite rubble. 2 span bridge with segmental arches and a small flood span; tall cutwaters between the large spans rise to form refuges; parapets with granite coping. Inscription panel set into upstream parapet, rather decayed but recorded as 'This bridge was builded at the countyes charges Anno 1660'. Jervoise and Henderson quote a 1647 reference that 'Sparrowe Bridge was in Decay'; presumably the present bridge is the replacement. Henderson, C and Jervoise, E, Old Devon Bridges (1938).
