Description
This is a bridge and section of the Haytor Granite Tramway, built in the 1820s, located approximately 250 metres south-east of Chapple Farm in Bovey Tracey. The bridge features plain rubble abutments that support a series of pieces of roughly dressed granite, standing about 1 metre above the Bovey Pottery Leat. The bridge is accompanied by a section of granite trackway that is about 6 metres long, extending on either side of the bridge. There is an additional section of trackway, approximately 4 metres long, located about 3 metres to the north. The north-eastern side of the trackway, which is closest to the road, is almost completely exposed, while most of the south-western side is covered with earth. The Granite Tramway was opened in 1820 for horse-drawn wagons that transported granite from the Haytor quarries to the Stover canal, from where it was shipped by barge to the port of Teignmouth.
