Description

SE 3170 RIPON BONDGATE GREEN 5/161 (west side) 12.10.77 New Bridge

II

  1. Sandstone ashlar: vermiculated. Three segmental spans. Cutwaters with shaped buttresses above them. Keystones. Band. Coped parapet, with terminal piers of cylindrical shape.

The New Bridge was built to replace the former Archer Bridge, a chain bridge which spanned the Skell from a point between Thorpe Prebend House (qv) and St Anne's Hospital (qv) in High St Agnes Gate. As the latter was only a footbridge, the principal vehicular exit southward from the town must have been either over Bondgate Bridge (qv) or by the ford further downstream. The latter corresponds to the alleged siting of the Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval ford, east of the Collegiate Church, and, with the route leading up St Mary's Gate to the North Bridge over the Ure, formed the principal north-south axis of such a site.
