Description
The Clifton Hampden Bridge is a bridge, dating from circa 1864, designed by Sir Gilbert Scott and built by Richard Casey for Henry Hucks Gibbs. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, with random flared headers. The bridge features six ribbed, four-centred arches, each with moulded brick surrounds and angled cut-waters between. It has a bracketed parapet with a string-course at its base and moulded brick coping. The bridge replaced a ford and ferry. Henry Hucks Gibbs was the Lord of the Manor, and the bricks were made at Clifton Heath. Sir Gilbert Scott designed other buildings in the parish, and this is likely the only bridge he designed.
