Description
Paddockhole Bridge is an early 19th-century roadbridge built as a single segmental arch over the Water of Milk. The bridge is constructed of rubble with recessed ashlar arch rings. It has ramped parapets, which were partly rebuilt and are splayed at the southern approach, and is finished with ashlar coping. The bridge's category was changed from B to C(S) on 22 February 1988. The statutory address is Paddockhole Bridge (over Water of Milk).
