Development History
September 2011: Inspection finds the bridge overgrown along its top and bushes and plants have taken root at many points largely enveloping the structure. Some stone have been lost from the parapet. The end of the bridge close to the road has been fenced off. The other end is not visible.
19 March 2014: Inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously. Access is blocked at both ends of the bridge, the remaining structure appears stable.
