Exterior

A single-span double-carriageway road bridge of coursed rubble stone and segmental arch of tooled voussoirs. The plain parapet has been partly renewed with cement coping on the E side. A SE square rock-faced terminal pier is part of the forecourt wall of the adjoining bowling green. On the SW side is a rectangular terminal pier with saddleback coping. It is abutted by a later rubble-stone boundary wall of the adjoining premises. On the N side the parapet abuts the railway bridge.
