Linlathen West Bridge
This 1840-50 cast iron bridge has a cast iron balustraded parapet and four ribs each of two castings. The roadway is level and placed so as to meander through the landscape, curving round to achieve access to Linlathen House, so differing in two respects from its predecessor, the East Bridge.
