Description
The bridge over the River Beane at Goldings Park was built in 1869 as part of a series constructed by Robert Smith, the owner of Goldings. It features red and yellow brick abutments, cast-iron girders, and a cast-iron balustrade. The bridge has riveted plated girders with a moulded cast-iron cover plate above, and the balustrade panels are pierced with a pattern of three circles, flanked by three triangles above and below. It includes a moulded top rail, barleysugar twist columns with pyramidal caps, and yellow brick abutments adorned with stone bands and red recessed panels. The piers have roll moulded stone caps with low pyramidal tops, and the approaches are marked by curved brick parapet walls with stone copings.
Historically, Robert Smith inherited the Goldings estate in 1861, demolished the old mansion, and redirected the nearby Watton Turnpike. In 1869, he built this bridge to carry the road and the drive to Goldings over the Goldings Canal and the mill race of the River Beane.
