Description
Harewood Bridge is a road bridge over the River Wharfe, built around 1729 and widened around 1771 by John Carr, who served as the Surveyor of Bridges from 1761 to 1772. The bridge is constructed from finely-dressed stone and features four segmental arches separated by three sharply-pointed cutwaters with angled caps. The soffit includes two separate spanning arches.
On the east side, the arches have chamfered voussoirs and are arranged in two orders, with slightly projecting piers above the cutwaters. A band and parapet run along the top. The west side has arches with flush unchamfered voussoirs, which were clearly added to the eastern section to increase the road width. The abutments splay out at each end. Notably, the central eastern pier has two metal plaques on its inner face marking the parish boundaries of "DUNKESWICK" and "HAREWOOD," while the top of the parapet is incised with "MAX 79."
