Development History
June 1990: The bridge is nominated for inclusion on the Register, advised as ruinous and no longer in use. It is in separate ownership to the river banks following the sale of Craig Mill.
March 2010: Inspection finds the bridge, part of a very picturesque group of bridge and weir with former mill, in an extremely precarious state with the potential for collapse.
