Elegant and functional

We have many old bridges and viaducts here and further north. All seemed to have been built with such pride and elegance, and this is but one example.

 

The bridge carries something quite mundane, pipes which carry water further southwards. The stonework is very good, and the whole design aesthetically pleasing.

 

The River Lune floods severely very frequently, so this bridge has to be sturdy (on the other side of the bridge is a record of some of the flood heights).
