March 14, 2025, Cringleford Bridge

Cringleford Bridge was first built in stone in 1520, replacing a wooden bridge on the same site. Medieval sections survive in at least two arches, abutments and the central pier. It was widened in the late 18th century, restored in the 1970s. It crosses the River Yare south of Norwich and carries the Kett's County Long Distance Trail.
