Description

The bridge consists of two timber spans with rockfaced sandstone abutments with rockfaced coping and string course. The spans are connected by the two central abutments which are joined back to back to form a massive pier. The W span has a flat wooden deck laid on three large timber beams which are supported at their ends by shaped wooden corbels. Angled blades protrude at the sides of the deck to support 4-sectioned crossed balustrades, built of timber with corrugated iron inner facings. The E span slopes at about 20 degrees downwards from the central pier. A timber deck is laid on four sloping beams supported by angled shear legs joined by iron braces rising from stone corbels in the abutments. Angled braces protrude from the deck to support a planked parapet. Gated and now barred and disused.
