Questions about Kenmare Bridge

Is Kenmare Bridge on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 21309306).

Can you visit Kenmare Bridge?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was Kenmare Bridge built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1930–1935.

Is Kenmare 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.
