Overview

History & significance

Lee Moor Tramway Bridge is a granite structure located in Devon that formed part of the tramway infrastructure developed to serve the moorland industries of the region. The bridge dates from the early nineteenth century and exemplifies the engineering solutions required to transport materials across the challenging terrain of Dartmoor. Constructed in granite, characteristic of local quarrying traditions, the bridge represents an important phase in the industrial development of Devon's upland areas during the period of expanded mineral extraction and transport networks. The structure survives as evidence of the tramway systems that facilitated commercial activity on the moor before the advent of modern road transport.
