Visit websiteThe single 45 ft. span bridge over the South Drove Drain was built in 1910. It was designed by L.G. Mouchel and partners using the French 'Hennebique' system. The entire structure is built of concrete. The structural arrangement is unusual in that the principal longitudinal beams are the two parapets and the road is supported by beams slung between them.
By road: On Horseshoe Road two miles south west of Spalding.
