Description

The bridge, located approximately 130 metres south-east of Wood House, was built between 1899 and 1905 by Thomas Mawson. It is constructed of granite ashlar and features a simple single span with a plain segmental arch. At road level, there is a plain projecting dripcourse supported by a series of small corbels between the terminal piers, which project outwards to create inside refuges with stone benches. This bridge is part of a larger landscaping scheme designed by Mawson to accompany the rebuilding of Wood House. The landscaping of the nearby lake was a significant aspect of this scheme, which Mawson regarded as one of his major achievements.
