More about this scene
Wilford, meaning 'willow ford', was the meeting place for the Anglo-Saxon administrative area later called Wilford Hundred. The bridge carries the road over the River Deben, where a short-lived quay was built in the 19th century. A bridge of 1764 was replaced by this one of white brick and stone in 1798. The floods of 1939 resulted in a new single span bridge being erected.
