Description
Wath Urn Bridge over Clow Beck is a bridge dated 1755, which was widened in 1948. The downstream half is constructed of ashlar sandstone and features three segmental arches with small triangular cutwaters. The ends of the bridge widen in a canted form. Between the first and second arches, there is a recessed plaque with a moulded frame and the inscription "John Place 1755". The bridge has a band and a parapet with slightly-segmental-shaped coping. Originally part of the old Great North Road, the bridge was doubled in width by the North Riding of Yorkshire County Council in 1948, using reinforced concrete arches. However, the original upstream parapet appears to have been reset in its new position and includes a commemorative inscription. The bridge suffered damage during World War II when a lorry carrying ammunition crashed on it, as it was very narrow at that time. It is partly located in the Civil Parish of Manfield.
