Description
Union Bridge is a bridge over the River Lemon, dated 1822. It features a segmental arch made of limestone ashlar for the intrados and jambs, with a rubblestone parapet topped by pointed Devon limestone coping. There is a cast-iron plaque displaying the date and name of the bridge. Additionally, a small plaque at the north end indicates that the rubblestone walls flanking the river were raised in 1982.
