8/80 Town Bridge
17.4.67

Bridge, dated 1682 on outside of west parapet. Squared sandstone. Single
segmental arch with arch band (reinforced with iron strap), rounded
coping to parapets, which are continued in a splay at the south end
(carrying iron railings here); humped sett-paved deck. Apex block on west
parapet dated 1682 in raised figures on the outer side. Small structure
