Statement of Interest

A well-proportioned later-19th-century stone bridge in a prominent and picturesque setting just to the south of the centre of Hawick, linking the mill-workers' housing on Slitrig Crescent with the area surrounding St Mary's Parish Church. This structure replaced an old ford and wooden footbridge. At the crown of the bridge, on the north parapet, is the 360 feet OS benchmark.

Also known as Slitrig Crescent Bridge.
