Description
The bridges are as described. Some recent restoration including replaced masonry and repointing. The central bridge has been protected from erosion (by the River Gowy) by the insertion of ballast upstream. The bridges are connected by a curbed path, overgrown in places, of some 2.3m width. This may be an early feature. The Bridges appear to be contemporary and although of differing size are of similar form; only the central one spans running water.
The bridges are in good condition, but have been much restored.
