'''The Iron Bridge''' is an early cast iron bridge crossing a man made lake in grounds of [[Culford Park]] in the village of [[Culford]] near [[Bury St Edmunds]], [[Suffolk]]. |
|||
Built for [[Charles Cornwallis, 2nd Marquess Cornwallis]] the owner of [[Culford Park]] in 1803-4, it is a unique example of a cast iron bridge built to the patent of [[Samuel Wyatt]]. The rib castings feature stiff and efficient oval tubular sections and is of exceptional interest as one of the earliest bridges with an unmodified cast-iron structure to survive. It is the earliest known example with hollow ribs leading to the structure received a grade I listing on 15 May 1996.<ref>{{Cite web|title=THE IRON BRIDGE AT CULFORD SCHOOL, Culford - 1269105 {{!}} Historic England|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1269105|access-date=2020-06-12|website=historicengland.org.uk|language=en}}</ref> |

==Design== |
|||
On 10 June 1800 [[Samuel Wyatt]] patented a new design for ''...constructing bridges, warehouse, and other builds without the use of wood...'' which was published in the Repertory of Arts and Manufactures: Vol.14 in 1801. The patent describes how to construct a bridge using ''hollow pieces of cast iron in a longitudinal direction '' |
