Horkstow Bridge, 19th-century suspension bridge in North Lincolnshire, England
The bridge spans the New River Ancholme with a 42.6-meter single span and features rusticated stone piers forming archways at both ends.
Sir John Rennie designed this iron and stone structure in 1835 as part of the River Ancholme Drainage Scheme, with construction completed in 1836.
The Grade II* listed structure represents the engineering capabilities of the Georgian period and remains a testament to Victorian infrastructure development.
The bridge maintains a deck width of 4.3 meters and provides passage for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians connecting Horkstow with neighboring communities.
The ironwork, supplied by Gospel Oak Ironworks in Tipton, includes double wrought iron chains that support a wooden plank decking with a convex shape.
