Bow Creek Bridge
From Graces Guide
Iron bridge erected in 1810 over the River Lea at Bow Creek to a design by James Walker and Alfred Burges for the Commercial Road Turnpike Trust. The bridge was damaged by a barge in 1887 and had to be shored up. It was demolished in 1896.[1]

The crossing was 152 ft wide between the abutment faces, spanned by three round and two triangular cast iron arches.
The design was described in 'The Engineer' in 1873 [2]
