Description
Yafforth Bridge is a bridge located on Yafforth Road, likely dating from around 1682, though it has older origins and was altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The bridge is constructed of ashlar sandstone with some reused older materials. It features two segmental arches that are separated by a large abutment, with one arch spanning the main stream and the other over a flood channel.
On the downstream side, the main arch, dating from around 1682, has a chamfered hoodmould above the voussoirs, while the smaller arch is supported by chamfered ribs. There is an 18th-century band and a long parapet that terminates in circular bollards. The upstream side, which is from the 18th century, has both arches adorned with archivolts and flanked by pilaster buttresses, along with a band and parapet similar to the downstream side.
The bridge has been previously listed three times under the parishes of Romanby and Yafforth, but those listings were removed on 31 October 2017.
