Wergins Bridge An early example of a reinforced concrete bridge and a rare example using the Kahn system of construction. Single arch bridge built in 1913 to replace an earlier bridge. The span is 50' over the River Lugg and it is 26' wide. The mass concrete aprons protect against the scour of the river bed. There is a recently erected plaque celebrating its centenary.
