BERRINGTON C.P. - SJ 50 NW SJ 5163 0680 3/25 - Boreton Bridge - II Bridge. Dated 1826 with late Cl9 and c.1930 alterations. Painted cast iron span, red brick abutments, corrugated decking, and concrete and steel balustrade. Single span consisting of 4 cast segmental ribs with pierced spandrels and lattice girders at right-angles adjoining abutments at ends; probably late C19 red brick abutments with parapets; c.1930 concrete balustrade with steel balusters and rail. Date cast in central 'keystone' on each side. There has been a bridge on this spot since 1659 but the present structure was re-erected by Thomas, Lord Berwick, during the period when Thomas Telford was County Surveyor (1797-1834).

The bridge spans the Cound Brook. V.C.H., Vol. VIII, p.16.
