Langford Bridge (Bedfordshire)

From Graces Guide

An ancient masonry bridge between Langford and Henlow was badly damaged in floods, and in 1819 it was decided to erect an iron bridge. This was cast by Lees and Co [?] at Coalbrookdale. The bridge was strengthened by the addition of wrought iron beams in 1873. The iron bridge was demolished in 1946.[1]
