Road bridge across the River Exe. 1813-14. By James Green, Civil Engineer and
Surveyor for the County of Devon. Ashlar span of 3 segmented arches; pilasters
between arches with round-headed niches below parapet, and small recessed panels
above. Dentilled band at road level, and coped parapet. Voussoirs are of
Thorverton stone, as are the abutments to either end, and these contrast nicely
with the red sandstone of the main structure. Low cutwaters. Cowley Bridge was
built to replace a 12-arched bridge at the joint expense of the County of Devon and
the Chamber of Exeter in the mayoralities of B W Johnson Burnes Pitch and John
Flour Esquires. This information, together with the date of the laying of the
first stone (22nd June 1813) is recorded on 2 inscription panels facing each other
on the parapet. The bridge cost £9,000 and is Green's most important bridge.
