Description
Taunton Road Bridge is a public road bridge located over the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal, built between 1837 and 1841. It is constructed of brick and stone and features a single elliptical arch with a dressed stone opening and a keystone. The bridge has a brick band, solid parapet, and piers, along with stone coping. Iron rope-fenders are positioned on the edges of the arch leading to the towpath. Additionally, there is a towpath retaining wall with stone edging. The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal itself was constructed earlier, between 1824 and 1827, under the engineering supervision of James Hollinsworth.
