Description

Bakewell Bridge is a bridge dating from around 1300, which was widened in the 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar sandstone and features five pointed arches with ribbed soffits. Triangular cutwaters rise as pedestrian retreats, and there is a band beneath the parapet. A cross base is located on the apex of the downstream cutwater to the west of the central arch. The upstream side was rebuilt in the 19th century in the same style. The approach walls extend from the parapet towards the town. The bridge is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument, designated as Derbyshire County Number 16.
