Description
Leaderfoot Bridge is an early to mid 19th century hump-backed bridge featuring two segmental arches and a central v-splayed cutwater. The piers and abutments are constructed from squared and snecked free-stone rubble, while the arches are made of dressed sandstone voussoirs that include a moulded string detail. The bridge is finished with a low, coped rubble parapet.
