Description
Blackwell Bridge, built in 1832 and designed by architect John Green of Newcastle, is a notable structure made of sandstone ashlar. It features three segmental arches with a band above them, and a long parapet with plain coping that sweeps out to finish in low, half-octagonal piers. The arches are constructed with paired, pointed voussoirs and have a side chamfer that aligns with the sides of pointed cutwaters, which are capped with a shape resembling an up-turned keel above a band. There is an impost band along the abutments, and the ashlar intrados is shallowly rusticated in the lower courses, as are the cutwaters. Recently, the bridge has been doubled in width, with the new southern span being an exact reproduction of the original, except for the rustications.
