Halfpenny Bridge, Road bridge in Lechlade and Inglesham, England
The structure spans across the River Thames with a bow-backed design, featuring a single arch that rises 26 feet at its highest point.
Built by Ralph and Crowdy in 1792, the bridge collected a half penny toll from pedestrians until its abolition in 1839.
The bridge parapets display central panels marking the boundary between Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, representing the connection between these two counties.
The bridge carries the A361 road and includes a separate arch on the south causeway specifically designed for the towpath.
A small toll house with a basement and upper room remains attached to the north bank downstream, topped with a pyramidal asbestos slate roof.
