New Bridge, Exeter
View through Europeana Collections
View of Exeter showing the 'New Bridge' over the
River Exe and houses either side. During the Middle Ages, Exeter
had a single bridge to serve the town. It was constantly damaged
and repaired and improved many times. By the late 18th century the
medieval bridge could no longer cope with the vast increase in
wheeled traffic. In 1770 a new bridge was built by Joseph Dixon in
a new location, but unfortunately by 1775 it had been destroyed.
Between 1776 and 1778 another bridge was constructed by John
Goodwin, this time on solid rock foundations. This is the bridge
seen here, which has three wide arches and a balustrade, typical to
many late 18th century bridges.
