Holme Turnpike Bridge Over Kendal/Lancaster Canal

Holme Turnpike Bridge is a canal bridge built around 1816, likely designed by engineer John Fletcher based on the original plans of John Rennie, whose route for the canal was approved in 1792. The bridge is constructed from squared, coursed limestone and features a limestone string course, copings, and a rounded fender course. It has an elliptical arch made of rusticated voussoirs and a keystone. The arched parapets end in pilasters, and there is approximately 6 meters between the parapets. The bridge is positioned at a skew angle to the canal and has concrete steps at the southwest corner. A timber footbridge has been added to the north, but it is not of interest.
