Description

The Turnover Bridge on the Nottingham Canal is a Grade II listed structure that carries the access road to the London Road Railway station over the canal. It was built between 1792 and 1796 by William Jessop and James Green for the Nottingham Canal Company. The bridge was likely altered in 1857 when the railway station was constructed. It is made of rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings and features a cast-iron balustrade. The bridge has a single elliptical arch with an impost band. There is a straight approach ramp from the towpath on the west side and a curving ramp to the east, both with half-round ashlar coping on the retaining walls. This type of bridge enables horses pulling boats to cross from one towpath to another without having to disconnect the towrope. The Nottingham Canal came under the control of the Great Northern Railway in 1861.
