Description
The Sark Bridge, located in Kirkandrews Parish, is probably the work of Thomas Telford, dating to around 1810. It is a road bridge consisting of two segmental arches spanning the River Sark. The bridge is constructed entirely of red ashlar stone, with rusticated voussoirs. It features pointed low cutwaters on either side, strings below the parapets, and shallow ramped and splayed parapets in the approach areas. Historical records, including charts and plans from 1809 related to communications between England and Ireland, depict a single-arch bridge in a similar style, with an engraving by James Basire dated March 1808.
