Questions about Clapper Bridge
Is Clapper Bridge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 20901724).
Can you visit Clapper Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Clapper Bridge built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1840–1880.
Is Clapper Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
