Description

Rushley Bridge is a road bridge built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features hammer dressed ashlar voussoirs on the main arch. The bridge has three arches that span the River Manifold; the central arch is wider and semi-elliptical, while the other two are semi-circular. There are buttresses on each side of the central arch and a plain parapet.
