Cotes Bridge, Loughborough
Where the A60 crosses the River Soar. This has long been a bridging point, and the tip of what is understood to be a medieval arch is just visible at the Eastern (left) end.

Cotes Bridge
Cotes Bridge carries the A60 over the River Soar. The structure dates from the 18th century, although some fragments are of medieval date and the parapet was rebuilt in the 20th century. It is grade II listed. The bridge was the location of a minor battle in 1644 during the Civil War when Royalist forces were trying to reach Newark to relieve the garrison there. They were held up by the Parliamentary army here and initially forced back into Loughborough, but after word was received that the Royalist garrison at Ashby castle had been reinforced, the Parliamentarians withdrew allowing the Royalists to continue on to Newark.
