The Ha’penny Bridge House

<–The Bridge was built c1886

For a hundred years near by this house, the Kelvin was spanned by a pleasant wrought-iron box-girder toll bridge. The toll fee was one half-penny hence its name ‘The Ha’penny Bridge’. It was washed away when the river flooded during the heavy rainfall of 10th Dec. 1994 and subsequently restored in 2002.
