Page "Spanish Town" Paragraph 4

Spanish Town is home to an early cast-iron bridge, designed by Thomas Wilson and manufactured by Walker and Company of Rotherham, England.

Spanning the Rio Cobre, the bridge was erected in 1801 at a cost of £ 4, 000.

Its four arched ribs are supported on massive masonry abutments.

After the abutments deteriorated, endangering the structure, it was listed in the 1998 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund.
