From the Wikipedia article
Otley Bridge is a seven arch stone bridge that crosses the River Wharfe in Otley, England. The original bridge was completed in 1229 and has been repaired and upgraded multiple times over the years. The original structure was commissioned by the Archbishop of York in 1228 and is now a scheduled monument. In its present form the bridge carries B6451 (Bridge Street) over the River Wharfe, with two-way road traffic and a pedestrian walkway.

Background
History
In the 13th century, the site in Otley was already established as a crossing place of the River Wharfe due to shallow crossing points or fords. This as well as the presence of the Archbishop's Palace at the Manor House warranted the creation of a formal river crossing at Otley, to create a more direct route to York.
