Full Description
Brick road bridge across the Colne, built 1802 and, according to the iron plaque attached on the N side, widened from 9m to 14m in 1928 under the supervision of Harold Collins Borough Engineer. This widening can be seen in the concrete extensions to the N and S which match in with the rendering to the brick original bridge. There are two main arches with cutwaters and smaller arches each side to span the river bank. At road level the bridge has six ashlar pillars on both sides, the N side has four wrought iron lamp posts with lamps, the S side has three posts but only the easternmost has a lamp. There is an iron balustrade between the pillars. <1-2>.
