King William's Bridge Refurbishment, Anstey
About the project
The bridge is a Grade II Listed structure, with the original structure dating from probably the early 17th Century. The bridge’s name derives from its use in 1696 when it was widened in order to carry the Coach and horses of King William III and his entourage, over Rothley Brook on their way to Bradgate House to visit the Grey Family.
