St Crispin's Bridge, formerly known as Station Bridge,[2] is a grade II listed wrought iron arch bridge over the River Wensum in Norwich, England, carrying St Crispin's Road.[1]
The bridge was constructed in 1882 by Barnard, Bishop & Barnard.[3] Its opening took place the same year as the opening of the nearby Norwich City railway station, after which it was originally named. City Station closed in 1969.[2] It is next to what is now the Barn Road roundabout,[3] and serves the south carriageway of the Norwich ring road;[2] in the 1970s,[4] a pre-cast concrete companion bridge was constructed immediately north of the bridge.[3]
The bridge has a flat-arched wrought iron span of 55 ft (17 m) with latticed spandrels, and is 26 ft (8 m) wide.[2] It features riveted steel[dubious – discuss] girders with a cast iron lattice balustrade.[3] The words "Norwich Barnard, Bishop & Barnards 1882", are displayed on the parapet plinth.[2]
