Richmond Bridge is a stone arch bridge crossing the River Swale at Richmond in North Yorkshire. Built in the late 18th century, the bridge was constructed between 1771 and 1789 to replace an earlier medieval crossing and to improve communications in the town. The structure comprises a single large arch of approximately 105 feet span, constructed in ashlar stone with approach ramps, and represents a significant example of late Georgian bridge engineering. The bridge remains substantially intact and continues to function as a principal crossing point through Richmond, serving as an important monument to 18th-century infrastructure development in Yorkshire.
