NR 77747 86987 A programme of conservation work
was undertaken, April 2018, which aimed to address the
deteriorating state of the stone piers and deck plinths forming
the structural elements of the bridge through slumping,
erosion and damage from vegetation.
The work consisted of vegetation clearance, stone
realignment and the insertion of stones, shims and pins into
pre-existing voids. Recording work identified and recorded
areas of stone insertion and change that will assist with
future management. It also provided some insight into the
construction methods used, and an opportunity to examine
the weight distribution and load levels of the bridge.
