Description

Earlier 19th century. Single arch estate road bridge. Smooth, rusticated and corniced ashlar sandstone buttresses, 4 cast-iron elliptically-arched ribs with cast-iron 'keystone' masking central joint at outer ribs, spandrels formed by 7 decorative concentric circular motifs. Cast-iron balustrade with die at centre and cornice continuing from stone cornice at buttresses. Decking has Macadamed surface.

Statement of Interest

Linlathen House was built for David Graham in 1705 and extended for Thomas Erskine by William Sterling in circa 1830; the house was finally demolished in the 1980s. The south drive, lodge and gates (listed separately) together with this bridge appear on the 1857-58 OS map but not on the 1827 plan of the estate. It is therefore likely that they were all constructed following the extension of Linlathen House in circa 1830.
