Description
Cringleford Bridge is a bridge over the River Yare, built in 1520 and widened in 1780. It is constructed of ashlar limestone and features two 4-centred arches that are separated by pointed abutments on both the upstream and downstream sides. The parapets are slightly splayed and have terminal square piers with pyramidal caps. The upper soffits are made of stone dressed brick, while the lower soffits are in stone. The bridge was widened by approximately 0.7 meters on either side in 1780, with the 18th-century arches being about 0.25 meters wider all around and featuring brick soffits. The original bridge was destroyed by floods in November 1519. The southern bank of the River Yare now marks the boundary of the City of Norwich. Cringleford Bridge is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Norfolk 205.
