Leland mentions a stone bridge at Mattersay, but the present one is of late C18 design. The three stone arches are semi-circular in shape with brick string courses, and there are stone pilasters over the cut-waters. The width between the parapets is slightly over 10ft. In the C17 the tolls of Mattersay Bridge belonged to the Corporation of Nottingham. (1)
