SS5533 PILTON CAUSEWAY, Pilton 684-1/6/309 Pilton Bridge and causeway S of 31/08/88 Pilton Quay, incl gates & piers to Pilton Park (Formerly Listed as: PILTON BRIDGE AND CAUSEWAY, Pilton Whole length of bridge & causeway from Pilton Quay ... to bridge over mill leat)

II

Bridge and causeway crossing and skirting the River Yeo. 1451, bridge rebuilt 1678; both widened by 3m in 1821. Bridge is of rubble with coping of chamfered granite blocks. It has 2 round arches springing from a central pier with low cutwater on W side (E side is buried under late C20 roadworks). Above the cutwater is a shallow buttress rising to a plain string course just above the voussoirs of the arches. Similar buttress at S end. Parapet on W side only. The underside of the bridge (seen from a distance) seems to show evidence of 2 builds. Parapet, complete with chamfered granite coping, continues right down the western side of the causeway, interrupted by 4 gates. The most northerly of these is a late C20 insertion, but the middle 2 (entering Pilton Park) are mid or late C19 with square stone ashlar piers and moulded tops; the low pyramidal caps appear to have been replaced in concrete. Original cast-iron gates survive, with spearheads and circular panels containing flowers; at the bottom a pair of intersecting diagonal braces with a boss bearing an illegible inscription. Southern gate, also leading into the park, has square piers of coursed stone rubble with pyramidal caps encased in cement. HISTORICAL NOTE: in 1451 Bishop Lacey granted an indulgence to penitents contributing to the bridge and causeway between Pilton and Barnstaple. In 1897, during work on the Lynton and Barnstaple railway, a 2-foot square stone was found, inscribed: `This causeway and the bridge were widened ten feet by public subscription in the year 1821 Shaddick and Knill, builders'. Bridge over mill leat to south not included. (Gribble JP: Memorials of Barnstaple: 1830-: 567-8, 618; Gardiner WF: Barnstaple, 1837-1897: 1897-: 229; Chanter JR & Wainwright T: Barnstaple Records: 1900-: 248).
