Bishop Bridge spans the River Wensum at the western edge of Norwich's Cathedral Quarter. The bridge was built in 1340, and is still in use, making it one of the oldest active bridges in England. In 1578 when Elizabeth I passed across Bishop Bridge on her way to visit the Earl of Surrey. Throughout the medieval period a gatehouse stood at the western end of the bridge to control access. The gatehouse was a part of the bridge until 1791 when it was torn down. The only remnant is a semi-circular projection(which can be seen in the photo) on one side of the bridge that formed part of a turret.
