Description
New Bridge, built in 1811, is a Grade II listed structure located on Bondgate Green in Ripon. It is constructed from vermiculated sandstone ashlar and features three segmental spans. The bridge has cutwaters with shaped buttresses above them and keystones. A band runs along the bridge, which is topped with a coped parapet that includes cylindrical terminal piers.
The New Bridge was built to replace the earlier Archer Bridge, a chain bridge that crossed the River Skell from a location between Thorpe Prebend House and St Anne's Hospital on High St Agnes Gate. The previous bridge was only a footbridge, making the main vehicular exit from the town either over Bondgate Bridge or by a ford further downstream. This ford is believed to correspond to the site of an Anglo-Saxon and medieval crossing, located east of the Collegiate Church. Together with the route leading up St Mary's Gate to the North Bridge over the River Ure, it formed the main north-south route in the area.
