Description

The structure consists of a culvert mouth, lining, retaining walls, a bridge, and a possible sheep-wash located west of the Manor House barn. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with likely repairs and alterations from the late 19th century. The walls are made of coursed and squared grey gritstone and the overall length is approximately 20 metres. The culvert mouth features a round arch made of voussoirs, which is similar to the arch of the bridge. The bridge has a projecting band at road level and large blocks forming the parapet. The south arch of the bridge is hidden by a pair of stone slabs that have grooves on the inner face to accommodate wooden shuttering, which helps control the flow of water. Above the bridge, the culvert lining widens, creating a drinking pool or deeper channel for dipping. This culvert carries Thorpe Beck beneath the road and leads to the west of Manor House Farm.
