Road bridge. Dated 1789. Red brick, faced with ashlar and rock face ashlar. West side has 3 red brick arches faced with ashlar, with rock face ashlar architraves. Flanking each arch are single rock face ashlar piers, 4 in total, these rise to the top of the balustraded ashlar parapet which rests on a rock face ashlar band. In the base of the piers are single round arched niches rising to the band. Either side are single coped ashlar swept walls which have a plain band extending from the band of the bridge. These terminate in single circular piers with moulded tops. The left/north rock face ashlar pier has a plaque with family crest of Pelham Clinton, Dukes of Newcastle of Clumber Park, dated 1789. The east side corresponds to the west, however there is no rock face ashlar, nor dated plaque and flanking the arches are single culverts with round arches. Under the arches the river flows in cascades down steps.
