Old Bridge in Graves Park, Sheffield3D Model
This model was produced as part of the Finding Lost Norton Park: Digging Deeper for All project.
Located within Cobnar Wood in Graves Park is a small single span bridge constructed of irregularly cut sandstone. The bridge served to provide access across a small watercourse, between the woodland (south), and fields (north). The bridge measures up to 2.80m wide and 4.80m long, it stands up to 1.0m tall.
Along the southern bank, either side of the bridge abutment are the remains of a drystone wing wall. The arch’s voussoir and key stone remain insitu. It is clear the bridge has been repaired on multiple occasions, not least in 2023, where a cement mix was used to bond the superstructure. It is likely a lime mortar was used in its original build. The date of the bridge’s original construction is unknown, though it is first depicted on the 1898 1:2,500 1st Revision County Series publication.
