Description

Black Monkey Bridge is a railway bridge built around 1860. It is constructed from square and coursed punched red sandstone, featuring a rusticated surround to the arched opening made of voussoirs that alternate between red and lighter colored blocks. The bridge has raking buttresses that rise to a parapet with stone coping. At the base of the archivault, there is a rusticated dado, while the archivault itself is made of ashlar. The bridge is topped with square and diamond-shaped iron tiles. It spans a stream and footpath and is noted as one of the best bridges on the West Somerset Railway line.
