Description
The bridge over the Glynn River at Ballyhone, Larne, County Antrim, is a good example of early Victorian bridge engineering. Constructed between 1860 and 1879, it is attributed to the leading Irish architect and engineer Charles Lanyon, and has retained its original appearance. The bridge is of masonry construction, built from squared rubble basalt in irregular courses. It features twin segmental arches with rusticated voussoirs having tooled edges. The bridge has angled cutwaters on either side at the arch springing level, with repairs to the cutwaters using cement. The abutments and pier below the springing level are of regularly coursed stone, with copings formed of irregularly shaped stones set on end, and show a slight batter. Wing walls are returned square. Voussoirs, cutwaters, and abutment edges are of lighter coloured stone. The bridge stands in a very rural location, surrounded by open agricultural land. It is of industrial archaeological interest and holds local significance due to the authorship and unaltered state of the structure.
