SY6873 VERNE ROAD, Yeates 969-1/3/194 Bridge at SY 6923 7324 21/09/78
GV II
Road bridge over mineral railway. Late C19. Heavy rock-faced squared stone. Single segmental arch with rusticared quoins and voussoirs on plain internal abutments; probably with plinth, but lower parts concealed by raised ground level. Heavy square-edged weathered parapet, which is set at incline following road slope, with a change in the angle of incline above the arch centre; length c15m. Sited to the south west of three bridges in alignment over the former tramway. Of interest as it is a reminder of the C19 industrial activity in the quarries on the island, when rail and tramways were an important aspect of the transport system.
