GV II
Road bridge over former tramway. Dated 1881. Heavy rock-faced masonry. Single segmental arch with voussoirs and keystone, carrying date on S side, set on lofty plain abutments to a deep glacis/plinth. Heavy square-edged weathered parapets and short pilaster stops, parapet c 1m above roadway, which is c 10m long x 3m wide. The lower (N) side has short curved abutments raked down on either side. One of a group of bridges of similar date and design. It is a reminder of the nineteenth century industrial activity in the quarries of the island, when rail and tramways were an important aspect of the transport system.
