Description
Town Bridge is a road bridge over the Little Ouse River, built in 1829. It is constructed of cast iron and features rusticated stone revetments. The bridge has a single elliptical span adorned with traceried spandrel decoration, and it is dated 1829 on the upstream side. A decorative cast-iron balustrade runs along the bridge, featuring seven lattice stiles at intervals. In the center of the bridge, there are two lamp standards with brackets.
