Cantlop Bridge This cast-iron bridge was built in 1813 as part of a strategy to improve the network of roads and communication in Shropshire, aimed at improving trade. It was overseen by no other than Thomas Telford who was County Surveyor of Bridges for the county between 1787 and 1834, during which time he oversaw some 42 bridge building enterprises, some seven being in cast-iron. This is the only cast-iron example remaining in-situ today. Apparently the bridge was still used by traffic until the 1970's. Now it is by passed by a lovely 1970's concrete bridge immediately next door to it.

On the Cantlop Bridge This bridge is important in that it is an early cast-iron bridge (being built in 1813) and also in that it didn't follow the design of a wooden bridge (unlike for example the iron bridge at Ironbridge), plus it was a Thomas Telford bridge (the Scottish civil engineer being County Surveyor for Bridges between 1787 and 1834) and in that it is the only cast-iron bridge still in-situ in Shropshire today, having stood here for 199 years, and counting.

Cantlop Bridge This bridge will be 200 years old next year. It has been superseded many, many times over in terms of bridge design and technology, but in terms of beauty and simplicity it would be hard to surpass.
