Abstract: |
The Polharrow Bridge was a triple arch bridge with two main arches and a smaller flood relief arch on its north end. The bridge was constructed of basalt and sandstone rubble with dressed stone parapets topped with granite copings. The estrados and the main arches have a distinct butting joint running the full length of both barrel vaults. A carved stone commemorates the funding of the first bridge by a Quintin Maclurg, tailor. Its successor is also evidenced by a date stone of 1841 that was funded by S Arnot that year. |
