Questions about Charlestown Bridge
Is Charlestown Bridge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 14802015).
Can you visit Charlestown Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Charlestown Bridge built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1770–1780.
Is Charlestown 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.
