SPA BRIDGE SCARBOROUGH 1827 Yorkshire HEW211 TA044 882 N54o 16' 42.6" W0o 23' 58"
This four span cast iron arch bridge some 22 feet wide and about 266 feet long was originally the carriage drive to the Grand Hotel on the beach at Scarborough. It is said to have been designed by a Mr. Outhett, but M.F. Barbey finds design details in it very similar to other works by George Leathers of Leeds such as the same radial spandrel members and the scale and paneling of the tall stone piers. (Civil Engineering Heritage: Northern England M.F. Barbey, page 63) The lovely sea views framed between its arches and the whole fantastic scale of the bridge adds to the holiday spirit of the place.
