Description
Lothian Bridge, located over the Tyne Water in the Tyne Valley at Pathhead, was designed by engineer Thomas Telford and built by James Lees between 1827 and 1831. This bridge features five semi-circular arches, with segmental arches that support the footpath and triangular buttresses at each end, along with wing walls.
On the southwest and northeast elevations, there are five semi-circular ashlar arches set on piers, with ashlar voussoirs and abutments, and an impost course. The design includes five projecting flattened segmental arches that are adorned with decorative pilasters next to the main piers, and each end is supported by a triangular buttress, along with a retaining wall and curved wing walls.
The northwest to southeast elevation accommodates a two-lane road with footpaths on either side. The ashlar parapet features insets that are inscribed with the construction date, and it is topped with flat coping stones.
