See [[5127647]] for a view of the bridge from underneath.This history from George Plunkett's Photographs at: http://www.georgeplunkett.co.uk/Norwich/riverbridges.htmWhitefriars Bridge is one of several in Norwich rebuilt during the 20c. Formerly known as St Martin's bridge, it is first mentioned in a grant made by King Henry I to Bishop Herbert de Losinga shortly after 1100. In 1290 it was washed away by a great flood, and there are records of it having to be rebuilt at different times throughout the centuries. The earlier ones would have been wooden constructions; during Kett's rebellion in 1549, we are told, the bridge was deliberately demolished with the dual purpose of impeding the rebels and using its timbers to strengthen the nearby city gates.In 1591 a more permanent edifice was built of stone, with a single pointed arch. This survived until replaced by the present bridge designed by Arthur E.Collins, City Engineer, and built by unemployed labour under a skilled foreman. It is of concrete reinforced by 1.5 inch steel bars and faced with mica quartz and white cement. The first half was opened to traffic on 19th February 1925. Its span of about 80 feet is some 50 feet wider than that of its predecessor.It was said at the time that the stones of the old bridge would be marked in order that it could be re-erected on a different site, but this was never done.
