In 1788, the Earl of Warwick, George Greville had obtained an act of Parliament, the Warwick Bridge Act 1788 (28 Geo. 3. c. 9), to build a new bridge over the Avon. The bridge was built between 1790 and 1793, at a cost of around £3,258, some 400 metres east of Warwick Castle. It consists of a single arch made from sandstone.[2]
It replaced an older medieval bridge further downstream, which became known as Old Castle Bridge and is now a ruin.
