Millness Bridge Over Kendal/Lancaster Canal

Millness 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, copings, and a rounded fender course. It has an elliptical arch made of rusticated voussoirs and a keystone. The parapets are ramped with a flat top and have a slightly curved shape; there are pilasters at each end. Steps lead up to the roadway at the northwest corner, and the bridge is approximately 3.5 meters wide between the parapets.
