Three elliptical arches of regular size, the central one is larger than the outer two; the central and north arch have stone keyblocks; two circular flood outlets in central spandrels and short angled buttresses to central piers; two-course band beneath parapet which is splayed at both ends and terminated by square piers with pyramidal capping. The bridge was originally in private ownership and a toll was charged for crossing it; in 1907 it was bought by the County Council and freed from toll.
