Yes: rated Regional (record 20804014).
Can you visit Old School Bridge?

When was Old School Bridge built?

Is Old School 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.
