The Newforge Bridge, Magheralin

A narrow stone bridge carrying the Newforge Road, from Magheralin to Donaghacloney, across the River Lagan. Suitable for one lane of traffic only, it’s now controlled by vehicle-activated traffic lights. There is a reference in “The Industrial Archaeology of Northern Ireland” but not to the date of building. Not (apparently) listed.
