Full Description

Road bridge dating to c.1812, thought to have been designed by John Rennie. It was constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, and has a basket arch with a red brick band over it. The bowed swept walls terminate in single square piers, and the coped parapets are of ashlar stone. The bridge has been restorated at various points in the 20th century, with some red brick patching evident. The eastern half of this bridge is in Carrington parish, whilst the western half is in Westville parish. The bridge crosses the Twenty Foot Drain, which forms part of the works done by John Rennie to drain and enclose this wider area between 1802 to 1812. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {1}{2} The bridge has been demolished and replaced with a modern concrete bridge. The exact date of demolition is uncertain, but must have been before July 2009, as seen on Google Streetview photography. {3}{4}
