Ireland Bridge, Stone bridge from 1686 in Bingley, England.
Ireland Bridge stretches across the River Aire with six segmental arches, constructed from dressed stone and featuring pointed cut-waters topped with pyramidal elements.
The bridge replaced a medieval timber structure and underwent significant modifications in 1775 with the addition of a parapet and widening of the crossing.
The structure received its name due to the numerous Irish workers who settled in Bingley during the industrial period to work in local mills.
Following extensive renovations in 2010 costing £1.6 million, the bridge now accommodates two-way traffic and serves as a main route between Bingley and surrounding villages.
During the 2010 restoration work, construction plans required modification after the discovery of Daubenton's bats living inside the bridge spans.
