Historic Map

York Road Bridge which was more ornate than Cambria bridge was a road bridge built by the Swindon Corporation between 1907-8, demolished during the construction of Fleming Way in 1963.

The bridge span over the canal was 31 feet and the width along the canal 42 feet. The span was flat steel with brick abutments and steel sheet sides.

The bridge abutments and steps on the north bank down to canal level still remain, although the southern abutment has been greatly shortened.
