Leadmill Bridge

Leadmill Bridge is a road bridge built in the late 18th century and widened in 1928. It features coursed rubble and ashlar gritstone, with a massive structure on the west side that includes three arches and pointed cutwaters on the piers. The east side has coursed rubble spandrels and arch linings, with depressed semi-circular arches and stepped cutwaters beneath a shallow band course. It also has a narrow parapet with a shallow chamfer on the coping course. The west side showcases massive ashlar spandrels and parapet, along with ashlar arch linings. The depressed semi-circular arches are constructed with voussoirs, and there is a chamfered band course with a parapet above that has flattened saddleback copings. A plaque on the inner face of the west parapet notes the widening work carried out in 1928 by the then County Surveyor, A W Horton.
