Lowman Bridge
GV II
Bridge over the River Lowman, at the eastern end of Gold
Street. 1851, the south side widened in 1911. Squared stone
rubble with well-cut voussoirs to the arches; cast-iron
balustrades. The bridge consists of 3 elliptical arches, the
south side having been built out in a semicircle to carry a
statue of King Edward VII. Piers have cutwaters on both sides.
Balustrades have a series of narrow, round-arched open panels
with a handrail on top; at intervals are square iron piers
with panelled sides and ball finials. At each end of each
balustrade is an oblong section stone pier with a low
pyramidical cap.
On the eastern pier of the south side is a stone tablet
inscribed THIS BRIDGE WAS WIDENED DURING THE MAYORALTY OF
ALDERMAN west THORNE 2nd NOV.er 1911. Above the eastern
cutwater on the south side is another tablet (badly worn)
which seems to read LOWMAN BRIDGE WIDENED 1911.
The foundation stone of the bridge was laid in October 1851 by
John Heathcoat, MP for Tiverton.
The previous bridge, also of stone but with 2 arches, was
`repaired and nearly rebuilt' in 1772.
