| Abstract: |
This bridge was first recorded in 1613 but it was partially rebuilt after damage caused by a flood in 1847. The strengthening works revealed the main phases of construction as follows: The earliest fabric of the bridge dates to the earlier 17th century and still exists in span 4. The surviving road surfaces date to the 20th century. The BT iron service pipe was laid in the 20th century. Spa1 may have originally been arched but was destroyed by the Great Flood of 1847. It was completely replaced with a new lintelled structures during the 19th century, and its granite lintels show 'feather and tare' drill markings which accord with this date. Span 4, was partially destroyed during the Great Flood and rebuilt shortly afterwards, re-incorporating the original granite blocks. [Au(abr)] |
