Heritage listing
County Bridge, also known as Malton Bridge, is a bridge in England which connects the town of Malton, North Yorkshire with Norton-on-Derwent. A bridge crossing the River Derwent at this location was recorded as being repaired in 1332. It was repaired at the cost of £100 in 1612, and in 1736 its parapets were repaired. The current bridge was constructed in about 1760, to a design probably by John Carr. It was widened in 1925, when a footpath was added, but later in the century a separate footbridge was constructed alongside. The bridge was grade II listed in 1974. The bridge carries Castlegate (the B1248 road) over the river and a mid-stream island. It is built of sandstone, and consists of three segmental arches of voussoirs.
