Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Name of Property
Cresswell Quay Bridge
Unitary Authority
Pembrokeshire
Location
Bridge crossing a minor tributary of the Cresswell River immediately to the S of the Quay. The stream is the Martletwy/Jeffreyston boundary.
History
Late C18 bridge crossing the Treen Bridge Lake adjacent to Cresswell Quay. It was not adopted as a County Bridge.
Exterior
Bridge of local rubble sandstone with a small archway. Low parapets, about 0.8 m high. The bridge has probably been greatly widened on the E side, as it is now considerably wider than the road from Pisgah approaching it; but a similar stonework E parapet has been constructed. The W parapet has a rounded cemented coping, the E parapet has a similar coping brought to an apex.
On the W side the parapet follows a broad curve and its S end abuts the gate-pier of Cresswell House. Its N end returns for a short distance and abuts the roadside wall of the Cresswell Quay.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding its widening, for group value as an important visual link between the other listed buildings of Cresswell Quay (Cresselly Arms, Cresswell Quay and Cresswell House).
