Heritage listing
Details Cart bridge of around 1760, spanning the Itchen Navigation. MATERIALS AND PLAN: the bridge is built of multi-hued bricks, with stone coping to the parapets. It is orientated east to west, and now provides pedestrian access across the former Itchen Navigation. DESCRIPTION: the brick walling is predominantly laid in header bond, with some stretcher bond repair. To either side, the wing walls flare out in a sinuous curve, terminating in a brick pillar. The voussoirs of the broad, round-headed arch are formed by a soldier course of bricks. The stone coping has chisel marks to the side face. The track across the bridge is narrow and was presumably designed for cart traffic. It has a rubble stone base with some larger stone slabs.
