Description

Atkinson's Bridge is a canal bridge built around 1816, likely designed by engineer John Fletcher based on the original designs of John Rennie, whose route for the Kendal/Lancaster Canal was authorized in 1792. The bridge is constructed of squared, coursed limestone, featuring a limestone string and copings, as well as a rounded fender course. It has a single elliptical arch made of rusticated voussoirs and a keystone. The parapets are curved in plan, with pilasters at each end and steps leading up to the roadway at the south-west corner. The bridge is approximately 3 meters wide between the parapets.
