Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The old Gunthorpe Toll bridge Looking from the south side to the abutment and toll cottage on the far bank. The information board states that the bridge was opened in 1875 following approval of a Parliamentary Bill (necessary to authorise the collection of tolls). As the project was relatively undersubscribed, only a relatively lightweight bridge could be built. limiting the traffic that could be carried. This was nevertheless an improvement on the previous ferry. With the growth of 20th Century traffic, the bridge was clearly inadequate. The County Council bought out the toll rights and built the present bridge which was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1927. It formed part of a brand new road linking the A46 with the A617, providing a route north for heavy traffic avoiding Loughborough and Nottingham. |
