The listed bridge (HB20/13/007) carries the Oldstone Road across the Sixmilewater. Thought to date from 1780/1799. The List includes this description “Built mainly of blackstone rubble with rough stone voussoirs to segmental arches, rubble vaults, and the piers faced with triangular cutwaters of similar rubble, but the northern arches on the upstream side have been rebuilt with brick voussoirs and vaults, and their piers faced with lower triangular cutwaters of coursed basalt. On the west face the spandrels and parapet are of basalt rubble, in the same plane, but the top of the parapet has been newly rebuilt.” The view is downstream. See also Image
