Maiden Lane Bridge
First built in 1819 to carry Maiden Lane across the Regent’s Canal, it was widened and rebuilt in 1852 and 1923. In 1998 it was rebuilt to conform to European Community legislation on minimum loading. Parts of the original fabric have been reused in deference to the site’s history.
