6/37 BOW BRIDGE
11.11.52
GV II
Road bridge over Harbourne River. Probably late C17 or early C18, widened in
early to mid Cl9. Local stone rubble and slate. Single span hump-back bridge
with dressed slate round arch. The parapets have vertical slate lacing and
dressed stone coping. The parapets are swept out over the abutments which
extend a long way to the south west under which there is a very small flood
arch with a slate lintel.
The bridge has a span of about 5 metres. It was originally about 3 metres
wide but was widened on the downstream side in the early to mid C19 with a
finely dressed stone arch.
Leland in the C16 mentioned a bridge between Ashprington and Cornworthy but
this bridge probably no earlier than the late C17.
