Full description
Bridge over Pinch Cut Drain. Reinforced concrete on piles of same material, at skew to course of dyke. Unusual arrangement of shouldered crossbeams protruding beyond piles. Parapets of concrete posts and steel rails.
Date unknown but said by Norfolk County Council to be between 1910 and 1940. This is a remarkable example for its period if this is correct.
To be strengthened by inserting an understructure in 2006; general appearance to be retained as a 'distinctive feature of the landscape'. See feasibity report (S1) and principal inspection report (S2) for further details.
