BRANDY WHARF BRIDGE LINCOLNSHIRE 1831 HEW 1712 TF015 970 N53O 27' 35.6" W0o 28' 23.6"
This single span shallow arch bridge was designed by John Rennie to cross the new channel of the Ancholme River as part of his drainage and navigation plan for the waterway. Five cast iron ribs spanning 54’ 9” were cast by the Butterley Company in two segments with each rib bolted at the crown and anchored at the four abutments with bold pillars with plain stone moldings. The spandrels have a geometric bold pierced design with an equally simple plain vertical fencing for the parapet in the Regency style. It was very sensitively strengthened and modernized in the late 1980’s.
