The National Inventory dates the present limestone bridge to around 1865. It records dressed stone around the segmental arch and rusticated masonry on the parapets.
The first-edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 shows an earlier multiple-arch bridge at the site. Parts of that older structure may survive in the present approaches.
The Inventory notes that the river was considerably wider here in the nineteenth century, making the crossing part of a larger story about roads, drainage and the changing Camlin.
The bridge is part of a working road, not a pedestrian viewing platform. Appreciate its workmanship from safe public ground without standing in traffic or going onto riverbanks.
This is a road crossing, not a visitor walkway. Observe the historic masonry only from safe public ground, without obstructing vehicles or entering the riverbank.
