Description
Buttington Bridge is a single-span bridge built in 1872 by W.N. Swettenham, the County Surveyor for Montgomeryshire. It features five elliptical iron arches that are reinforced with later steel framing, which spring from rusticated stone abutments. The bridge has a cast iron parapet with a zig-zag line and bold trefoil decoration, cast in two halves in sections that are approximately 1.6 meters long. The abutments include very shallow elliptical land arches made of yellow stone, accented with red sandstone quoin decoration and keystones, and they rise to small refuges at road level. The bridge is approached by causeways made of rusticated stone on both sides.
