If you compare pictures of this bridge with those of others on the canal, such as Bridge 12 Image and the damaged Bridge 14 Image you will note how well preserved the brickwork is. Even more striking the brickwork under the arch Image appears to be more weathered than the external brickwork. As all the original bridges were built almost 200 years ago it would appear that the facing brickwork on this bridge has been replaced, probably in the latter half of the 20th century. See Image
