Dow Bridge, Stone bridge in Newton and Biggin, England

The bridge features six elliptical arches constructed with tooled coursed ashlar stone and spans across the River Avon along Watling Street.

The structure underwent a significant transformation in 1838 when two northwest arches received modifications, as indicated by the keystone marked W.P. 1838.

The bridge stands as an example of 18th-century engineering methods, earning Grade II listed status for its architectural and historical importance.

Access to the bridge requires careful navigation as it remains part of the A5 road system connecting multiple regions across Warwickshire.

The southeast section maintains elements of the original 18th-century construction, while the northwest portion displays the 1838 reconstruction work.
