Yes: rated Regional (record 14819232).
Can you visit Elmgrove Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Elmgrove Bridge built?

Is Elmgrove Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
