Description
The Hanging Bridge is a bridge over the River Dove, originally built in the 14th century, with later widenings in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It features two medieval pointed arches on either side of a central cutwater, along with a single-span segmental arch that has buttresses on each side. To the east, there are three additional arches that span the mill stream for Hangingbridge Mill. The plain parapets of the bridge extend as retaining walls on either side of the road for approximately 100 meters to the south-west and 50 meters to the north-west. The bridge also spans the Staffordshire-Derbyshire border. The materials used in its construction include ashlar stone.
