Cobden Bridge at St Denys and Bittern Triangle

















Here is Cobden Bridge looking towards St Denys.
Plenty of boats along the north bank of the river where the water is deeper.
This bridge was built in the 1928s replacing an earlier bridge from 1882 when the land around Bittern Triangle was beginning to be developed for residential purposes. The bridge was named after Richard Cobden, a prominent Liberal politican who was a notable campainger for free trade and it was Cobden who formed the Anti-Corn Law League.
