Description:A wooden footbridge carrying Meadow Lane across the Trent was built in 1830. Previously the river was crossed by a ford, still used by cattle and horse-drawn vehicles after the bridge was constructed. The wooden bridge was replaced by the brick- and stone-built Weetman's Bridge in 1887. The bridge was erected by Joseph Weetman with money raised by public subscription.
