Description
Duck Bridge is a bridge of uncertain original date, largely rebuilt in 1717 by George Duck of Danby. It was previously known as Danby Castle Bridge. The bridge is constructed of coursed herringbone-tooled sandstone and features a steeply hump-backed design over a large recessed round arch, which is made up of voussoirs and an arch ring. The parapets are peaked with rounded coping, and the space between the parapets measures 6½ feet. There are added stepped abutments at the north-west and south-east corners, as well as large stepped end buttresses. The bridge is noted in E. Jervoise's "The Ancient Bridges of the North of England," published by Architectural Press in 1931. It is also scheduled as an Ancient Monument.
