The suburb of Mansbridge, on the northern perimeter of Southampton, takes its name from the old Mans Bridge which spans the River Itchen and was, for some considerable time, the only road link across the River Itchen in the vicinity of Southampton. The 18th century bridge still stands and is a Grade II listed structure (Historic England List entry Number: 1092023 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1092023 ) but it is now open only to pedestrians and cyclists, having been replaced a larger and more modern road bridge carrying the A27.
