Bridge Near Dauntsey (MLN1/88 30)

Heritage listing

Details MATERIALS: original handmade red brick appears to survive in some areas, for example, in the piers and soffits, but otherwise elevations and parapets appear to be entirely refaced in red engineering brick with purple engineering brick detailing. English bond. DESCRIPTION: sweeping humpback profile and elegantly concave elevations. Central arch with standard 30ft (9m) span; side arches the same height but with a c. 15ft (4.5m) span, and more rounded profile. Piers with a single transverse arch each, now infilled. Chamfered purple engineering brick string course (originally moulded). Parapets terminate in piers projecting on the outer face only, at the ends of the curved wing walls. The inner face of the parapets have low chamfered plinths. Coping is bull-nosed purple engineering brick except for the terminating piers, which have quarry-faced stone blocks.
