The original iron bridge erected here in 1844 was an arched cast-iron construction – the angled stone plates still form part of the walls under the bridge. The older bridge was replaced by “The Iron Bridge” in the early 20th century as double-decker buses could only get under the original bridge by driving in the middle of the road.
