The bridge was built in 1797 to connect Stackpole Court and Home Farm to Stackpole Quay and the New Deer Park.
At some point face-to-face iron ties were added to hold the bridge together.
On 2 August 1996 it was listed by Heritage in Wales (now Cadw) as grade II* for its eyecatching nature as a major feature of Stackpole Park, and as part of the Stackpole group of buildings. This image is also available on my Photo4me site here.
