Bedford, Newnham Bridge 1897

More about this scene
Further east along The Embankment, Newnham Bridge crosses the north branch of the River Ouse at the south end of Tennyson Road. We are looking east from the north bank. At this time the bridge has very rustic balustrades. The scene is very different today: the bridge was rebuilt in the 1930s in concrete with cast concrete panelled parapets, and behind is the roaring road bridge of Longholme Way. This chapter's tour of the river banks is now completed, and we return to the town centre for the next chapter.
