Description
Old Frackford Bridge, dated 1768, was built by William and George Rawle. It is constructed of random rubble sandstone and features two semi-circular arches. The bridge has later triangular coping on its parapets, which were partly overgrown with ivy at the time of the survey. The date and builders' names are carved on a slate let into the east face of the bridge. It is no longer in use, having been replaced by a single span bridge in 1913.
