Description
Warwick Bridge is a road bridge that was begun in 1833 and completed in 1835 by architect Francis Giles and built by William Denton. It is constructed of red sandstone ashlar and features two piers with rounded cutwaters that support three shallow segmental arches. The bridge has a bold string course and solid parapets, with channelled joints in the masonry and voussoirs. An inscription stone in both parapets records the architect and builder along with the dates of construction. The bridge carries two lines of road traffic and is noted for its excellent architectural and engineering quality, being designed by the same architect responsible for Corby Bridge. It replaced a 16th-century bridge slightly upstream, which had in turn replaced a medieval bridge, marking an important crossing point over the River Eden for those approaching Carlisle from the east. The architectural historian Pevsner incorrectly attributes the bridge to Dobson and dates it to 1837.
