After many of its predecessors were washed away when the river was high, Scottish engineer Thomas Telford was commissioned to build a sturdier version in the early 1800s. Construction of the present bridge was completed in 1809. From an initial budget of £15,000, the final bill for the build was £40,000. A toll was levied on drivers to pay for the difference; however, this was unpopular and resulted in the toll gates being repeatedly thrown into the river. The town jail was once located under the bridge, and the door to the old jail is still visible today.
