NORTH YORKSHIRE HARROGATE 5338
SE 36 NE LANGTHORPE B 6265
3/28 Borough Bridge
20.6.66 - II
Bridge over River Ure. 1562, extensively rebuilt and widened to designs by John Carr and Mr Gott 1785; repaired 1969. Sandstone ashlar. 3 segmental arches, 2 pointed cutwaters to east side; semicircular cut-waters, probably rebuilt, to west. 5 wide ribs beneath outer arches. The parapets rebuilt over cutwaters which are carried up as buttresses and support the road surface. The parapets continue beyond the bridge to the north and have square terminals. The bridge spans the boundary between the parishes of Boroughbridge and Langthorpe and between the old North and West Ridings. The rebuilding in 1784-85 was by the 2 County surveyors: John Carr for the North Riding and Mr Gott for the West. The structure was repaired in 2 halves; work was in progress in 1782-84 but the southern section subsequently collapsed and had to be rebuilt, presumably to the complete design by John Carr. The road builder Blind Jack Metcalfe of Knaresborough is thought to have been involved with the construction. The 2 southern arches are in the parish of Boroughbridge (qv).
