Editing River Mole (section)

=== Cobham ===
A wooden bridge is thought to have existed on the site of Cobham Bridge since the 12th century, the upkeep of which was the responsibility of the adjacent landowners.  The present bridge was constructed by [[George Gwilt]] in 1792, after responsibility for maintenance had been transferred to the county council by Act of Parliament.<ref name=moleseyhistory/>  The bridge has nine low arches and is primarily built of red brick with stone coping.  The parapets were rebuilt in 1914 and the structure was given a Grade&nbsp;II listing in 1953.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England|num=1377488|desc=Cobham Bridge|access-date=1 May 2020}}</ref>
