High Bridge, Lincoln, Medieval stone bridge in Lincoln, England
High Bridge connects both sides of the High Street across the River Witham with a narrow stone arch passage beneath known as the Glory Hole.
Built around 1160, this stone arch bridge features five barrel vaulted ribs and timber-framed buildings from 1550 standing on its western side.
The bridge represents medieval engineering achievements, displaying one of three remaining bridges in England with structures still standing on top of them.
The narrow arch beneath the bridge restricts boat passage during heavy rainfall, while the upper level provides access to specialty shops and cafes.
The corner posts of the timber-framed buildings display carved figures of angels, with the structure maintaining its original medieval stone ribs.
