II

Road bridge and associated sheepwash. Early C19. Ashlar and
coursed rubble Coal Measures Sandstone. Flat road bridge with
massive flagged base, supported on substantial central masonry
pier, pointed at ends to form cutwaters. The north-western end
of this pier, and the lining walls to the stream channel, are
grooved to accept stop planks, to create the pond for the
sheepwash. The north-west parapet of the bridge is linked with
the twin curved walls which extend from either end of the
bridge on its north-western side, and which form small walled
enclosures, with half-round copings, on each side of Tricket
Brook. At the north-eastern end of the bridge, a stone setted
way leads from the lane, onto a setted ramp leading out of the
sheepwash. Each enclosure wall has a narrow gateway onto the
lane.
