| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "Public road bridge over Clough River. Probably late C17 or early C18; more than doubled in width by addition to west side in 1834 (date on top of north-west terminal pier). Coursed limestone and sandstone rubble, parapet coping of large flat-topped blocks. Segmental arch with rubble voussoirs, chamfered straight stone slate string-course; squinch at north-west corner; parapets splayed outwards at both ends, and large inscription "1834" on top surface of north-west terminal pier. Axial joint in soffit of arch shows that original eastern portion was very narrow. (Major repairs in May-June 1995 included partial rebuilding of west side, insertion of reinforced concrete saddle under carriageway, rebuilding of spandrels on east side with concrete blocks and rubble facing, and replacement of parts of string course and parapet on east side with re-used stone.)" |
