Summary
| Description |
English: New Bridge, Town Mills, Great Torrington, North Devon, built in 1843, viewed from Town Mills looking downstream towards Great Torrington. New Bridge carries the A386 over the River Torridge from the south-east side of Great Torrington to Tavistock and Plymouth. It was built by John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle (d.1842) of nearby Stevenstone, lord of the manor of Great Torrington, under the supervision of Thomas Whitaker, successor to James Green as county surveyor. A memorial stone tablet on the parapet on the upstream side states: "By the munificence of the Right Hon.ble John Lord Rolle this bridge was erected AD 1843. T. Whitaker, county surveyor". It is situated immediately downstream of Town Mills, Lord Rolle's castellated mill complex past which flowed his Rolle Canal and which matches Lord Rolle's castellated walls of the former site of Great Torrington Castle, both sites being visible from the bridge. A small arch to accommodate the Rolle Canal exists on the right bank side of New Bridge. Town Mill Lodge, one of the many gatehouses to Stevenstone is situated on the right bank of the Torridge at this point |
