Ashen Road is carried over the River Stour on this cast iron bridge erected in 1813. This bridge was erected only 34 years after the 1st cast iron bridge to be built at Coalbrookdale. It consists of 3 elliptical arches and the soffits of the arches have cast iron ribs. There is another view of the bridge at Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1194234 The market town of Clare is Suffolk’s smallest town. It lies on the north bank of the River Stour some 12 miles south of Bury St Edmunds and some 7 miles west of Sudbury. Remains of every period since the Palaeolithic have been found in the area. There is a Norman castle, a 13th century Augustinian Priory and a fine, medieval ‘wool’ church as well as many listed buildings, some of which date to the 16th century or earlier.
