To be honest I did not get the opportunity to explore the immediate area in detail during my visit to Kilkenny in August 2018 but I hope to do so in 2024 when I visit in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bridge ‘designed for the Joint Committee of the Kilkenny County Council and the Kilkenny Borough Council by Mr. A.M. Burden [Alexander Burden Mitchell (1864-1923)] County Surveyor of Kilkenny’ (Concrete and Constructional Engineering VI 1911, 223) representing an important component of the early twentieth-century built heritage of County Kilkenny with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the pioneering construction using the Hennebique ferro-concrete [reinforced concrete] system engineered to designs signed (11th June 1907) by Louis Gustave Mouchel (1852-1908) of London, but also by the elegant “sweep” of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the River Nore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
