This was originally a farmers' bridge enabling access to and from the fields on either side. By 1924, as that is when they first appear on currently available Ordnance Survey maps, the houses on Bridge Street to the left and leading to the bridge had arrived. The housing to the right is much more modern. The bridge is a Grade II Listed Structure.
