Don Bridge

Don Bridge is a stone road bridge crossing the River Don in Sprotbrough, connecting Warmsworth and Sprotbrough through its solid masonry structure. Its arched design and robust construction reflect the engineering methods of the 19th century.

Built in the 19th century, the bridge was constructed to meet growing transportation needs across the Don. It was later added to the Grade II listed buildings register to protect its historical significance.

The bridge takes its name from the river it crosses, becoming a daily landmark for local people. It serves as a physical link between two communities that have grown alongside it.

The bridge is open daily to vehicles and pedestrians and can be easily accessed via the main road through Sprotbrough. It is best to arrive during quieter times if you wish to observe the structure up close from below.

The bridge showcases Victorian engineering techniques that are rarely used in modern construction. Visitors can observe the fine detail of the stonework and craftsmanship when standing beneath the arches.
