Clady Bridge, Loanends Road, Nutts Corner, Crumlin, Co Antrim

This is a well-proportioned masonry bridge, likely dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, built to a robust design and retaining its original features on both sides. It carries the road between Carmavy and Lyles Hill over the Clady Water. The bridge is constructed of basalt rubble with rough stone voussoirs forming graded segmental arches. The piers have triangular cutwaters on each face, and the copings are made of rough stones laid flat and projecting over the outer faces. The bridge features recessed arches and spandrel panels, with a flat carriageway and grassy verges.

Long approach walls extend from the east end, incorporating two small stone stiles built into the parapet and approach wall on the south side. On the north side, there is one larger, later opening and the partially rebuilt parapet terminates in a substantial square pier with basalt rock copings. A section of stonework is missing from the approach wall on the far side of a gateway along the bank. The bridge is situated in a very rural setting, surrounded by grassy banks, trees, and scrub, with a short length of basalt fieldstone retaining wall along the bank on the south side at the east end.

The precise date of construction is unknown, but the bridge is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1832-33, although unnamed, and was named on the 1857 Ordnance Survey map. It was previously listed and then delisted on November 21, 1997. The bridge is of industrial archaeological interest.
