Cobden Bridge, Road bridge in Bitterne Park, England
The Cobden Bridge spans the River Itchen with five concrete arches, connecting St Denys and Bitterne Park districts in Southampton.
The National Liberal Land Company constructed the first iron bridge at this location in 1883, naming it after politician Richard Cobden.
The bridge site marked the location of a major conflict in 1885 when 400 young men from different neighborhoods engaged in street battles.
The current structure, completed in 1928, features two vehicle lanes and two bicycle paths, forming part of the A3035 transportation route.
Unlike the nearby Northam Bridge which required payment, the original structure gained recognition as a toll-free crossing point.
