Road bridge crossing the River Tees. 1773 for John Sawrey Morritt. Mainly
dressed sandstone with some rubble lower courses. Semicircular arch with
dressed voussoirs spans 23 metres and is flanked by slightly-projecting giant-
piers. Battlemented parapet, above chamfered band, breaks forward over piers
to form pedestrian refuges. Paired water-spouts project from base of parapet
at north and south ends of bridge. Merlons and embrasures of parapet have
chamfered coping. North-west section of parapet terminated by low circular-
plan pier with hemispherical cap. Two circular emplacements at southern end
of parapet said to be bases of former toll-houses.
Abbey Bridge straddles the parishes of Westwick and Egglestone Abbey.
