Description
Howden Bridge is a bridge dating from the 15th century and the late 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar and coursed squared stone. The two western arches are pointed and chamfered, featuring medieval ribbed archivolts, and between them is a triangular-section cutwater that rises into a pedestrian retreat. The eastern arch, built in the 19th century, is segmental and has voussoirs and pilasters that break forward on either side. There is a band that is corbelled across the pilasters, and the bridge has a parapet. Notably, half of the bridge is located in the parish of Romanby.
