Fye Bridge

About

Fye Bridge is a grade II listed brick and stone double-arched bridge over the River Wensum in Norwich, England, carrying Fye Bridge Street, and at the end of Wensum Street. It is a historically important thoroughfare, connecting the north and south of the city, and is likely the oldest surviving bridge site in Norwich, Bishop Bridge being the oldest one still standing in the city. The bridge likely began in the mid-10th century as a timber causeway, though actual documentary references to the site date back to 1141.

A stone bridge was built on the site around 1400 and then rebuilt in 1573. It was the site of the market cross known as Stump Cross, a pillory and a ducking stool in the 17th century. Fye Bridge was replaced with an iron bridge in 1829, and then again in 1933 with the current brick bridge.
