The two side spans are each {{convert|52|ft|m}}, with the central span {{convert|60|ft|m}}. The central arch rises {{convert|18|ft|m}}. Smaller flood arches on the bank bridge the towpath. The bridge is {{convert|27|ft|m}} wide. HistoryThere has been a bridge at this location since 1447, each being destroyed and replaced.[2] Severe flooding in 1795 destroyed the previous bridge. That bridge comprised five pointed stone arches. A stone gatehouse on one pier had been replaced with a stone cottage by the time of a 1781 print. One of the arches had also been damaged by the Royalists in 1644 and rebuilt in timber.[3] Parts of a fifteenth-century bridge were rediscovered in 2004 during excavations for new flood defences.[4] Thomas Telford designed the current bridge and was assisted by resident civil engineer, M Davidson.[1] It was built in 1798 by Shrewsbury-based contractor John Simpson for £9,000.[5] Its toll house was demolished in the 1960s.
