Bridge, wall and gate piers. Early C19. Ashlar with edged herringbone tooling and smooth faced ashlar dressings. Bridge aligned north-south with wall attached to the south, returned to the west and terminating in gate piers. Bridge to the right, wall to the left. The bridge has single four-centred arch with moulded surround, balustrade with trefoil-headed arcading, painted white sweeping round to the front and terminating in stepped buttresses; crenellated abutment to the left with round headed niche, ramped down to a pedestalled buttress and attached wall partly with lobed top; the wall incorporates a four-centred archway with panelled pilasters and keystone and is terminated by a pair of square section piers with chamfered rustication and pyramidal caps. White Bridge and its attached wall and gate piers form a single architectural composition with the wall enclosing the Italian Garden to the north-west (q.v.).

This item forms part of the important garden layout at Alton Towers (q.v.) which is included at Grade I on the HBMC Gardens Register.
