Paine Bridge at Brocket Hall, Marford Road, Lemsford, Hatfield - Welwyn Hatfield

Classical bridge built of stone to designs of James Paine in 1772. Stonework facing has failed on all four bridge abutments and exposed the brick core. Balustrading has been partly dislodged likely due to significant motive mechanical force. During 2022 discussions have been ongoing with the owners and the Local Authority to determine a scope of repair works. Repairs have yet to be undertaken.
