Bow Bridge, St Augustine Road, Leicester
Ornate cast-iron parapet between stone piers. By the Leicester Corporation, 1862. Grade II listed.
On each of these piers is a plaque, one records the bridge's construction on the site of an ancient predecessor "over which King Richard III passed at the head of his army to the Battle of Bosworth Field" in 1485; the other remembers a legend that Richard's head was "dashed and broken" on the return trip by a stone dislodged by his spur hitting a large stone on the outward journey.
