Essex Bridge

Essex Bridge is historically significant, dating back to the early 17th century. It was built between 1550 and 1554, making it one of the oldest surviving stone bridges in England. The bridge is situated in a tranquil and scenic setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the natural beauty of the River Trent. It provides a charming view of the river and its surroundings.

A nice example of an old stone bridge. I dont know much else about it, only that its one of the bigger examples I have seen on my travels.

This is a remarkable packhorse crossing. Essex Bridge originates from the 17th century, taking its name from the Earls of Essex who oversaw its construction. Originally, it is said the bridge had 40 arches, though today only 14 remain. Regardless, it is still the longest packhorse bridge in England.
