This old single track bridge crosses the River Medway in Aylesford, Kent. Originally built in 1250 of local Ragstone. It has five arches, the largest being the central arch. However, prior to 1881, this large arch was two arches. In 1881 is was enlarged into one long arch.
The bridge today is no longer used for traffic, as the traffic now uses a new modern bridge just up river. The bridge however, is open for pedestrians and the co-ords above are for the centre of this bridge.
