Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The River Trent. Looking towards Gunthorpe Bridge from the river bank by the Unicorn Hotel.
Gunthorpe Bridge is the only bridge over the River Trent between Newark and Nottingham. Old Gunthorpe toll bridge, http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://homepages.which.net/~shardlow.heritage/gunth.jpg&imgrefurl=http://homepages.which.net/~shardlow.heritage/shwppcards.htm&usg=__o0CWy9UhqL9o7Ju1jsVRWYTz0QM=&h=339&w=535&sz=38&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=lDpKlYKFY8o-4M:&tbnh=84&tbnw=132&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgunthorpe%2Bbridge%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 , was built on the site of a ford and ferry that had existed since Roman times. Built in 1875 by the Gunthorpe Bridge Company who raised £7,500 through a share issue, it was a largely iron structure crossing the Trent: see 956029 and 955984. The tolls were horse and carriage 1/-, horse and wagon 6d, horse alone 3d, people and passengers 1d, motorcycles 3d, cars 1/- and lorries 2/6. In 1925 the Gunthorpe Bridge Act empowered the council to buy the owners out, demolish the bridge and replace it with the present one, seen here, a couple of hundred yards up stream. This believed to be the first toll bridge in the country to be replaced by a free one. |
