Voussoirs
Idly browsed the Historic England map to see what treasurers there were in my local area to give me a reason to go out in the drizzle. This bridge is just two fields away. Its described as a Grade II bridge. Probably early C19, limestone rubble with slate coping and voussoirs.
Like me, you are probably wondering what is a voussoir. I can reveal its the wedge shaped stone used to make an arch.
And I'll have you know, that I had to get on my bottom and slither down a bank to the becks edge, to get the best view of the voussoirs.
