Description
The bridge near Sheene Mill, built in 1852, is a Grade II listed structure made of cast iron. It features a single span with a cast iron parapet. The spandrels of the arch are pierced and display the names of the manufacturers: James Rawlings on the east side and Hurrell on the west side. The bridge has been widened and was constructed to replace the ford on Mill Lane, now known as Station Road. The costs for building and maintaining the bridge were shared by the parishes of Melbourn and Meldreth. James Rawlings, who was an engineer and millwright, is mentioned in the 1858 Kelly's Directory for Melbourn.
