    Grade II listed building, listed in 1984. It stands within the South Gloucestershire county, not "Bristol Proper," although it is (at least nowadays) very much a part of Bristol. When this was constructed in 1788, it was in the "Parish of Chipping Sodbury," but as time went on & the population grew in the mid - latter ¼ of the 20th century, Bristol expanded exponentially northwards.
    Lots of old parishes & what would have been small villages, such as Frenchay, have now become part of the city.
    The bridge itself is stunning. There is an old plaque reading that the bridge "is unsafe to carry a weight beyond 6 tons."
    It's in a really pretty area, right in the suburbs (well, urban sprawl! In Bristol, it's pretty hard to tell where one area starts and ends!) But, you can easily feel miles away from the noise & and built-up areas not far from here.
    The weekends at Oldbury Court / Vassals & Snuff Mills are really horrendously busy, if possible, I'd advise visiting on a weekday.

      Built in 1788 by subscription. It's of cobble and stone construction with a very round arch. The bridge crosses the river Frome and is a handy link between Frenchay and the main city of Bristol as well as allowing access to the Frome river path and Oldbury Court estate.
