Long Description:
This is one of many granite bridges on the Devonport leat.
Devonport Leat is a considerable engineering achievement. It was
built in the 1790's to take fresh water to the ever growing docks
of Devonport in Plymouth, but now it terminates at Burrator
reservoir. The water is taken from the West Dart River and the
Cowsic, north of Two Bridges. Only the Dartmoor section of the leat
survives due to building and modernization within the city of
Plymouth.
