Description
Byewash Bridge at Dale Dike Reservoir is a bridge built around 1870. It features cast iron construction with gritstone abutments and piers. The bridge has three equal-span, three-centred arches that spring from imposts on stone abutments and two elongated octagonal piers. The piers are adorned with moulded plinths and caps. The cast iron arches have quarterfoil-decorated open spandrels and a shield motif at the center of each span. Above the central piers, square, decorated cast iron pillars support simple railings, with three intermediate standards for each span. Each end of the bridge is flanked by heavy square columns topped with pyramidal caps and coped ashlar wing walls. This bridge is one of the most decorative works of the Sheffield Water Corporation, which reconstructed the reservoir between 1867 and 1875 following the catastrophic collapse of the Dale Dyke Reservoir in 1864.
