Bingley Ireland Bridge

Bingley Ireland Bridge

Bingley's Ireland Bridge was historically a significant crossing point over the River Aire in West Yorkshire, England. It is now the main route between Bingley & the nearby villages of Harden, Wilsden & Cullingworth. The current bridge dates from 1686. [http://www.bradford.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/192DB899-9199-4729-BA3D-1859E90CE4C2/0/DescriptionofGradeIIstarListedBuildingsinBingley.pdf] The All Saints Parish Church and the Old White Horse Inn, a Coaching inn were constructed very close to the eastern bank and Bingley's modern town centre spread south from these beginnings.

The bridge has undergone major strengthening works but has been deemed unfit for two-way traffic. It now has traffic lights at either end allowing only a single lane across, creating quite a disruption to local traffic, especially at peak times.
