The Broadmead Bridge carries the A247 road over the original channel of the River Wey. This bridge was built in 1925 and was refurbished in 2004. Its predecessor was a primitive wooden affair, built in 1825. In 1873 a steam engine and threshing machine fell through the side of it and three men were killed. The old river channel marks the boundary between the Borough of Guildford (this side) and the Borough of Woking. Looking N towards Old Woking.
