Description


BOURNMOOR CHESTER ROAD
NZ 25 SE
(North side)
4/1 Chester New Bridge
II*

Single-track road bridge over the River Wear leading to south-west arched
gateway (q.v.) to Lambton Park. Probably C15; partly-rebuilt parapet. Dressed
stone.

Circa 45-metre span. Both faces similar. 4 pointed arches of 2 chamfered
orders; each arch on 5 chamfered ribs (some partly restored). Triangular-plan
cutwaters between arches (3 on each face); cutwaters have multi-chamfered
plinths, sloping tops and rise to parapet band. Slightly-projecting parapet
has restored coping and splayed north end walls. Large abutment with offsets
at north-west end.

This bridge straddles Chester-le-Street and the parish of Bournmoor.
