Originator:Stead, P. M.
Date:1993
Summary:Blanksmill Bridge. Two spans. Slate-built. Mortared & very well-faced. 19C or later. Very long bridge over stream & streamlet. Main span shows change in width approximately halfway along, but too low to investigate whether this represents a rebuilt of lintels, on downstream side, in concrete. Parapet walls of random coursed slate fragments with wide slate fragments set on end for coping. Polwhele refers to a bridge 'greatly rebuilt in 1768'. Blanksmill Bridge shown on OS (1891) 1st edition 6".
