Description
Sheerness Bridge over the Kendal/Lancaster Canal is a canal bridge built around 1816. It is 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, 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 the bridge is approximately 3.5 meters wide between the parapets. There are steps leading up at the southwest corner.
