Where is the oldest bridge in Suffolk?

Suffolk s oldest bridge Not only is Homersfield Bridge Suffolk’s oldest surviving concrete bridge, it also lay claims to being the oldest surviving concrete bridge in Britain.   Spanning the River Waveney and teetering on the Suffolk-Norfolk border, this 50 metre construction stretches from Homersfield in Suffolk (hence the namesake), over to Alburgh and Wortwell in Norfolk.  Constructed in 1870, the Grade II-listed bridge was the result of an early experiment that combined iron with concrete, and was built to replace an earlier bridge that stood in the same location.   Over the years, the bridge had fallen into disrepair due to its age, but underwent a full restoration in 1995 thanks to the Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust.
