WEST GATE FOOT BRIDGE, CANTERBURY 1829 N52o 47' 30.2" W2o 1' 45.3"
The fortified West Gate of Canterbury by which the London Road enters the city is of early medieval date, but beside it is a prison built in 1829 and the wrought iron bridge between the two towers is believed to date from that time. It is a small bridge of approximately five feet wide and fifteen feet long with diminishing circles in the spandrels. There is mention of it having been the work of Edward Blore.
