Ledgard Bridge, Road bridge in Mirfield, England
Ledgard Bridge stretches across the River Calder with four spans supported by two piers constructed entirely from solid stone materials.
The construction of Ledgard Bridge in 1800 replaced several previous wooden structures, with the first recorded bridge at this location dating from 1303.
The Grade II listed status of Ledgard Bridge underscores its role in Yorkshire's architectural heritage and regional transportation development.
The bridge carries Newgate Street traffic over the River Calder, providing an essential connection for vehicles and pedestrians in Mirfield.
During the devastating flood of September 20, 1946, Ledgard Bridge remained standing while extensive damage occurred throughout the Calder Valley.
