Development History
July 2011: A member of the public nominates the bridge for inclusion on the Register through the website. The bridge is advised as having been badly damaged when trees fell across it in the recent gales. Some of the trees were growing out of the side wall of the bridge and in falling have pulled stones out of the wall. The parapet has also been damaged. The bridge is currently blocked with fallen trees.
19 March 2014: Inspection finds access to the bridge has been cleared. Parapets are missing in part and tree growths to the structure are evident. The bridge appears to be stable but in need of repairs. At Risk.
