Wetherby Bridge, Stone bridge in Wetherby, Great Britain

The bridge spans across the River Wharfe with thirteen stone arches, connecting the Micklethwaite area to the Wetherby town center.

Dating from the 13th century, Eleanor de Percy requested permission from Edward II in 1315 to collect pontage fees for bridge repairs.

The bridge hosts the town's war memorial designed by E. F. Roslyn, where annual Remembrance Sunday ceremonies take place.

The structure now carries the A661 Boston Road traffic, linking Wetherby to Boston Spa and other southern destinations.

Turner created a painting of the bridge in 1816, though the exact viewpoint he used is now blocked by tree growth.
