The Robbie Bell Bridge carries Pield Heath Road over the River Pinn and links Cowley with Colham Green. There is a plaque on the north side of the bridge that reads: COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX TAKE NOTICE that this bridge (which is a county bridge) is insufficient to carry weights beyond the ordinary traffic of the district and that owners and persons in charge of locomotive traction engines and heavily laden carriages are warned against using the bridge for the passage of any such engines or carriages Richard Nicholson Clerk of the Peace A correspondent informs me that Robbie Bell was a young boy who very sadly died here after being hit by a car while crossing Pield Heath Road around 1990. Note the Environment Agency water level gauge board on the left of the river.
