Subject notes
The road was being widened and the stone balustrade was replaced by steel lattice work, possibly to save weight. Six pillars were added a year later, two of which bore the inscription 'Erected 1796, widened 1904'. Before being widened, the bridge was only single lane. Road traffic was still light at this time.
