Description

The New River Bridge, built around 1740, is a Grade I listed bridge designed by Daniel Garrett for Henry, the 4th Earl of Carlisle. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features banded rustication on the cutwaters that separate three stepped segmental arches. Each arch has rusticated voussoirs and a mask keystone on the central arch. Niches with tooled architraves, pulvinated friezes, and consoles supporting pediments are located beside the main arch. The bridge has a cornice supported by brackets, topped with a low parapet that includes a central balustrade and coping. The approaches to the bridge are ramped and feature balustrading, with rusticated piers at the center and square-section end piers.
