II
Public Road Bridge over River Mersey. Late C18 or early C19. Large
dressed sandstone blocks. Two semi-elliptical arches with plain
voussoirs alternately raised, springing from a central pier with
triangular cutwaters both up and down stream; plain central pilaster
and terminal pilasters, plain band, flat deck protected by parapets
of massive rectangular blocks with ridged coping. South-west corner
has short return incorporating a blocked semi-circular arch. Granite
set paving to deck. Built into the centre of the inner face of the
west parapet is a tapered cast-iron post with a rounded top, a
horizontal band inscribed "1332", and vertical inscriptions "MANOR"
above the band and "BARONY/STOCKPORT" below. HISTORY: not known, but
probably built by a private agency rather than (e.g.) a turnpike
trust.
