Town Bridge, Peterborough blue plaque

This blue commemorative plaque records: The earliest Town Bridge, in timber, was built here in 1307. Its successor was replaced by an iron bridge in 1872. The present reinforced concrete bridge was opened in 1934. Recorded plaque organisation: Peterborough Civic Society.

Town Bridge has been a vital crossing over the River Nene since at least 1307, facilitating trade and travel for Peterborough; its evolution from timber to iron and finally to reinforced concrete reflects advancements in engineering and construction technology over centuries.
