| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "Bridge over river Lune. 1872. For Earl of Bective. Rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and parapet. 2 double-chamfered segmental arches with 4 ribs, and smaller segmental arch to north-east end to take flood water, which has hoodmoulds. Pier between 2 equal arches has triangular cutwaters chamfered back to form canted refuges; flanking abutments canted, that to north-east with triangular cutwater upstream. Corbelled embattled parapets, raised to abutments and refuges, loopholes to abutments. Smaller arch has panels with armorial bearings above, and embattled parapet. Refuges have dates to insides of parapets, 1872 to south-east side, 1875 to north-west side. Built at the cost of L10,000 on the Underley Park estate. The design is based on that of Devil's Bridge (q.v.), the rhythm of which it copies." |
