Heritage listing
Details Road bridge, probably built around 1777 for the Black Dog Turnpike Trust. MATERIALS: constructed of dressed rubble, possibly Doulting stone, with ashlar coping; some replaced with concrete. DESCRIPTION: the bridge spans the River Frome and is orientated north-west to south-east. It comprises a causeway at either end, four semi-circular flood arches and two main semi-circular arches. The main arches have double voussoirs; the upper one breaks forwards, and impost bands. The upstream (south-west) side, which has some roughcast render, has a full-height, triangular cutwater which supports a corbelled-out refuge. The parapet walls show evidence of some rebuilding and have ashlar coping stones, though some have been replaced with cast concrete. The south-east end of the downstream parapet is splayed. Within the refuge is an upright parish boundary stone which is inscribed NORTH BRADLEY/ROAD (the pre-1919 spelling of Rode; right corner missing). There is also a small county boundary stone which is set into the floor of the bridge. Legacy The contents of this record have been generated from a legacy data system.
