Description
HERTFORD
TL3212NW NORTH ROAD 817-1/16/126 (North side) Footbridge over mill stream, in grounds 40m north of North Road House
II
Footbridge. 1848 (date on central escutcheon on arch). Architect Thomas Smith. Cast-iron with gault brick and stucco abutments. Segmentally arched girders with trellis-pattern spandrels, with bamboo-form lattice pattern handrails. Abutments have piers with caps and ramped downswept connectors to join handrails. HISTORICAL NOTE: Thomas Smith acquired additional land in the mid 1840s to embellish the setting of his house by landscaping the island between the mill stream and River Beane, and the north side, after the picturesque manner of JC Loudun. The folly, north of the river, now in the grounds of Beane River View, Port Vale and the gazebo now in the grounds of Rockall, Rockleigh (qqv) were built as part of the garden architecture.
