Description

This is a canal bridge located at Stainton Bridge End, built around 1818 by engineer John Fletcher, based on the original designs of John Rennie, whose route for the canal was authorized in 1792. The bridge is constructed from squared, coursed limestone and features a limestone string course and coping, as well as a rounded fender course. It has a single elliptical arch made of rusticated voussoirs and a keystone. The shallow arched parapets are slightly curved in plan and include pilasters at the western end. The bridge is approximately 10 feet wide between the parapets and is built into an embankment at the eastern end.
