| UNION BRIDGE | Union Bridge (Suspension) |
Map of the County Henry Edgely New Statistical Account of Berwickshire |
018.13 | This bridge is distant about two miles and a half from Hutton and is about 6 miles up the Tweed from Berwick- It is an Iron Suspension bridge, built or erected in 1820 by Captain Samuel Brown of the Royal Navy- The Structure is an admirable specimen of this kind of bridge, and completely answers the purpose for which it is intended_ It is made of Malleable Iron_ Its length is 361 feet, and its weight 100 Tons. A very substantial and elegant arch of Freestone masonry stands on the Scots side- through which carriages enter upon the platform of the Bridge, which is made of wood plated of Iron - and is connected with the principal chains by upright Iron rods. It is to be regretted that the nature of the ground on the English side did not admit of a similar arch being there erected which would have communicated to the whole structure greater symmetry & beauty. The whole expense was from £7,000 to £8,000_ |
