Cleveland Bridge - the full original story: When & why it was built Built in 1826 on the site of a Roman ferry crossing over the Avon at Bathwick. It was to link the A4 London Road in Walcot on the north side with Bathwick on the south and allow Georgian Bath to expand south of the river.  It was named after the 3rd Duke of Cleveland, whose Bathwick estate put up the initial £10,000. Who built it • Architect: Henry Goodridge • Ironwork: William Hazledine of the famous Coalbrookdale Ironworks  Construction was warm golden Bath Stone with an elegant cast-iron arched span - it was designed for horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians.  The four little temples This is what makes it unique. Goodridge wanted perfect symmetry, so instead of one toll house he built four lodges, one on each corner, with columns facing the bridge like miniature Greek temples.  Only one (No.1 by St John's Road) was ever actually used to collect the toll - the other three were let as tiny houses/shops from day one. They were so small - one room upstairs, two in the middle, one in the basement that flooded every winter - that it's amazing the 1891 census shows a family of three plus two lodgers living in one.  The toll problem To build it they formed the Bathwick Bridge Company and got an Act of Parliament - the Bathwick Bridge Act 1805. The Act fixed the toll at one penny.  That was their undoing. By the 1920s inflation meant 1d didn't cover maintenance, the company went bankrupt, and the Bath Corporation Act 1925 allowed the city to take it over. It was made toll-free to great celebration on 20 June 1927 and restored in 1928-29.  It was strengthened around 1929 with four reinforced concrete trusses under the roadway so it could take modern lorries - today it carries about 17,000 vehicles a day.  The lodges fell derelict after WWII, but have since been restored by the Bath Historical Buildings Trust and are now homes again - No.2 is still the studio of ceramic artist Peter Hayes. #bath #visituk #dji #drone #foryoupage❤️❤️
