Barnes Pool, Barnes's Pool, or Barnespool Bridge
See Historic England Listing here.[1]
1883 'During the Midsummer vacation the old bridge at Barnes's Pool has been removed, and the school and Eton sides of the stream are being connected by a handsome wrought iron bridge, manufactured by Messrs. Heenan and Woodhouse, of Manchester, from designs by Mr. Fowler, an engineer of the same city. The two lateral double latticed girders, each 58ft. in length, are already in position and rest upon quoins and pilasters of Cornish granite, and several of the cross-girders, of which there are ten, the four middle irons being 36ft. long, have also been attached. The new bridge gives waterway of 50ft. and 11ft. headway for the floods which periodically pass through the pool from the south-west to the south-east of the College grounds. The contractors for the works, which will cost about £3,500, are Messrs. S. W. Pilling and Co. of Manchester. [2]
