The road bridge at Cosgrove, which crosses the Grand Union Canal, is known for its distinctive architecture. Built in the early 19th century, this stone bridge is an elegant example of Georgian design. What makes it particularly notable is its unusual construction: it’s a "hump-backed" or "roving" bridge, allowing horses towing boats to cross the canal without unhitching the towline. The bridge is part of the scenic Cosgrove village, which features several historic canal structures, including a nearby aqueduct. The bridge remains a charming and functional piece of canal history, blending seamlessly with the surrounding countryside.
