Culford Hall is featured on one side and The Iron Bridge on the other. The hall which was rebuilt in 1796 for the Cornwallis family and is central to the Culford Estate. It is now The Culford School after being sold by the 7th Earl Cadogan in 1935. The Iron Bridge spans the estate’s lake, west of the hall. It was constructed in 1804, designed by Samuel Wyatt and is and is made of five tubular cast-iron sections repeated six times form the 60ft span, supported on channelled granite abutments. It is the largest of the eight surviving cast iron bridges built between 1790 - 1810. The castings were produced in Gateshead at a cost of £1,457. It received a grade I listing in 1996. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4466848
