Middleham Bridge

The bridge, in 2020

Middleham Bridge is a historic structure connecting Middleham and Leyburn in North Yorkshire, in England.

The bridge, across the River Ure, was constructed in 1830, to a design by Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch. It was originally a suspension bridge, but was soon damaged by cattle crossing in step. It was repaired and a toll was introduced to pay for its upkeep. In 1865 it was converted into a girder bridge, the work conducted by Head, Ashby and Co. The bridge was grade II listed in 1985. It carries what is now the A6108 road.[1][2][3]

At each end of the bridge is a pair of stone pylons with a rectangular plan, buttresses, and embattled parapets on corbels. They are joined by a four-centred arch carrying a stone wall, each with shield and panels, some with inscriptions. The bridge deck is in cast and wrought iron, on two cast iron columns into the river bed, with wrought iron parapets and inscribed panels.[1][4]
