Corby Bridge, Grade I listed footbridge in Wetheral, England.
The 280-meter-long Corby Bridge spans over the River Eden with five semi-circular arches reaching a height of 30 meters above the water level.
Construction of the bridge began in 1830 and finished in 1834, using red sandstone from Newbiggin Quarry near Carlisle and materials from Wetheral quarries.
The bridge features commemorative plaques in English and Latin at its western end, honoring Henry Howard who laid the foundation stone.
The structure combines a double-track railway line and a footbridge connecting Wetheral to Great Corby, accessed through 93 steps on each side.
The bridge maintains its original toll-free pedestrian crossing, added in 1851 to provide safe passage across the River Eden for local residents.
