Aldwark Bridge

Aldwark Bridge is a toll bridge built in the mid-18th century, with some parts replaced in the late 19th century. It features an iron frame with timber decking and includes one surviving brick arch supported by a sandstone cutwater. The flood arches are made of red brick in a loose English garden wall bond, with sandstone dressings. The abutment walls and piers on the Aldwark bank are constructed from sandstone and brick.

The bridge has a flat, four-span design supported by tall, slender columns, with semicircular brick arches positioned between pilaster piers that have round-arched recessed panels. The arch on the Aldwark side is skewed and spans part of the river. There are arcades of semicircular flood arches between the pilaster piers, featuring flat, tooled coping on each bank. The arcade on the Aldwark bank ends in splayed walls with flat coping, ramping up from the piers that have flat caps. The bridge statute was approved in 1768, and the central part of the bridge was washed away in a flood in 1880.
