Bridge and approaches. Approaches 1825-27 by Roger Hopkins of
Plymouth. Plymouth stone ashlar with coped parapets which
sweep out to widen at the south end, terminated by tapered
piers with clasping pilasters under key-pattern friezes and
tall caps with a carved anthemion to each side. Similar piers
at the lower part of the north end. The road and parapet rise
uphill and on the west side is a plaque which reads:
"This bridge was projected and designed by and executed under
the direction of Roger Hopkins civil engineer and mineral
surveyor and member of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Opened 8th June 1827"
At the base is a semicircular railway arch.
HISTORICAL NOTE: originally the central 34 arches were of
timber and iron, 509m in length. In 1930 the central timber
spans were replaced by 23 fixed concrete and steel spans of
varying width, i.e, concrete decks on steel girders and a
central drawbridge. At the time of construction this toll
bridge was the longest in England and cost ยป20,000.
