II*
Footbridge over River Kennal. Circa early-mid C19. Cast iron.
Five-bay construction with walkway cast in sections with diamond pattern for grip and slots for drainage, and two identical balustraded parapets, each cast in one section. Gothic style. Resited C20 when river diverted. Balustrades have: bottom rail, narrow lancets up to next rail and intersecting pointed arches between top rails.
Part of the Perran Iron Foundry, founded in 1791, and in its heyday the most important foundry in Cornwall, manufacturing some of the largest beam engines ever constructed.
Plan of Perran Foundry, circa 1860 (CRO).
This footbridge, almost certainly cast here, is testament to the quality and scale of castings.
