Iron Bridge

The Iron Bridge in Brabyns Park, Marple dates from 1813 and was manufactured at the Salford ironworks of Bateman and Sherratt. It was constructed over the River Goyt for the owner of Brabyns Hall, Nathaniel Wright, a local coalmaster with interests in the Poynton Collieries. After many years of neglect, during which a Bailey Bridge was erected over the deck, a lottery grant has been made to allow restoration of this historic structure. Full details of the bridge and the campaign by local people for restoration, can be found here.
