Description
Chirdonburn Bridge is a hump-backed bridge, likely built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of random rubble and dressed stone, featuring a single broad segmental arch with an arch band. The parapet has flat coping and flares out sharply at each end. This bridge is probably the one that Sir J.E. Swinburn of Capheaton claimed to have built in a letter to John Hodgson in 1833.
