The bridge runs east west across the Stour and on the western side the approach road is elevated as it crosses low lying meadows. These are the minor arches that pierce the structure well to the west of the main arches. In times of flood they would allow excess water to flow through. When these shots were taken they were completely dry. The bridge was built in 1823. The structure has been extensively reinforced with tie-bars running through from one side to the other.
