    Colne Bridge is an 18th century, Grade II listed stone arch bridge spanning the River Colne between Bradley and Kirkheaton. Its history dates back to the 12th century, when a bridge at this location was recorded in the Fountains Abbey archives. The bridge lent its name to the surrounding village and Colne Bridge Mill, which tragically burned down in 1818. Notably, historian Ted Ruddock suggested that Colne Bridge may have influenced John Smeaton’s design for the Blackfriars Bridge in London.
