Exterior Description And Setting

A single span bridge with stone revetments and parpets. The single span is of 5¼ metres. The bridge has lost its original arch and a series of flat reinforced concrete beams span the Ballymully River which means that most of the parapet walls have been rebuilt. Width between parapets 5 metres and length 14. The stonework is coursed grey rubble and was continuous with adjacent railway bridge.

Historical Information

A bridge is shown here on the O.S. Map 1832. The railway bridge has been removed. The bridge takes its name from a former brewery which occupied the plot of land to the W and N of Turnaface Road. A modern house now occupies the site. The concrete beam structure must be several decades in existence. I.H. No. 2288. References Primary Sources 1. O.S. Map 1832 Londonderry sh. 46. 2. O.S.

Evaluation

Although the Brewery bridge has lost its stone arch, its stone parapets present a rustic picture across the Ballymull River and its association with a former Brewery, it deserves to be recorded.
