Bridge in Shugborough
The Garden bridge in the grounds of Shugborough Hall is a cast-iron footbridge in Staffordshire, England. Dated to around 1800,[1] It is notable as an example of chinoiserie and complements a Chinese House which is believed to be somewhat earlier.[2]
The bridge provides access to an island site which has been created by regulating the River Sow. The bridge spans the River Sow and is one of a pair of bridges leading to the island. In the 20th century Patrick Lichfield used the island to create an oak arboretum.
