Description
Arden Bridge over Thirkleby Beck is a road bridge built in the late 18th century, likely designed by John Carr. It is constructed from coursed squared stone and features a single segmental arch supported by pilaster buttresses. A band runs across the buttresses, which have chamfered coping that rises above the arch. The north-east buttress is angled in line with the wing wall, which has been renewed above the band and ends in a pair that matches the style of the buttresses. The other wing walls were rebuilt in the 20th century, featuring bands, coping, and end piers, with the south-west angle dating back to the 18th century. Carr's design for 'Thirkleby North' bridge, built in 1799, appears to be related to this bridge, although it has been linked to another now-rebuilt bridge on the route of the A19. Even if the drawing is not of this bridge, it reflects Carr's style and is almost certainly his design.
