Rotherham Bridge

[1] A document of 1385 refers to Bridgegate in the town, which implies that a previous bridge existed on the same site.

The road it carries was originally the main route from London to Richmond.

The chapel was dissolved in 1547 and converted into first an almshouse, then the town gaol and finally a shop.

[1] The bridge was altered in 1768–69 by John Platt, working for John Carr of York, but was restored to its original dimensions by Reginald Blomfield in 1927, when Chantry Bridge was built alongside.

[2][3] The bridge is Grade I listed and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
