 The Grosvenor Bridge, Chester   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The radical solution eventually arrived at involved the construction of an entirely new thoroughfare, Grosvenor Road, which ran diagonally to the ancient street pattern and linked the city to a new bridge, designed by Thomas Harrison and proving to be his final work- at the time of the commission he was 82 years old.
The outer courses of the arch and the quoins are of Anglesey limestone, which was brought to Chester by sea, while the rest of the bridge is cased in Peckforton sandstone.
The Grosvenor Bridge was built at a cost of £50,000 and until 1864 was the greatest single span- at 200 feet across and 60 feet high- of any stone arch anywhere in the world.
