The
42 metre span bridge over the River Irthing at Willowford forms a key link in
the Hadrians Wall path from Wallsend to Bowness. The sensitivity of the site meant that the
bridge had to be prefabricated off site and moved into position with a
helicopter. Winner of 4 architectural awards in the period of
1999-2001.

Deneside Bridge, East Wallhouses, Northumberland
|
|
Following the success of the award winning bridge over the
river Irthing at Willowford in Cumbria, Napper were commissioned to design a
series of bridges of varying spans along the route of Hadrian’s Wall Path
National Trail. These bridges were built from a ‘kit of parts’ (Cor- ten steel
and oak boarding) and designed to be installed without expert engineering, to
be low maintenance and blend into the surrounding countryside without affecting
the archaeological remains.

Far Moor Bridge, Yorkshire
|
|
The Far
Moor bridge design proposals were prepared in response to a limited design competition
prepared by the Yorkshire Dales National Parks Authority in conjunction with
National trails.
The design looks at
providing an elegant simplified structural solution utilizing a CORTEN steel
structure and employs salvaged timber which has a natural connection with its
surroundings. The patina, effectively ‘rust’ coloured, weathers and changes
with the seasons and possesses an almost timeless quality.
