Scarborough Spa Bridge

Scarborough Spa Bridge

Scarborough Spa Bridge was formally opened on 19th July 1827. It was built by 'The Cliff Bridge Company' who aimed to increase trade at the spa by spanning the valley from St Nicholas Cliff to the Spa itself. The bridge towers 75' (22.8m) above the valley and is 414' (126.2m) long and 13.5' (4.1m) wide.

The bridge proved so popular that a tollbooth was erected at the St. Nicholas Cliff end. This now meant that a user could get a ticket for unlimited access to the bridge and spa for a set number of weeks. The bridge is still used today and should be part of any trip to Scarborough.
