On maps from 1887 (the earliest on old-maps.co.uk) the short street between Market Place and Theatre Street is unnamed. It crosses The Holloway (a modern name) by a bridge. Every map since then notes 'Iron Bridge'. Recently this new nameplate has appeared, a succinct acknowledgment of the street's history.
