The construction of the Dean Bridge allowed the City of Edinburgh to grow to the north-west. Built between 1829-31 to designs by Thomas Telford, the bridge crosses the gorge of the Water of Leith and is over 30m in height. Telford originally designed a bridge with three arches, but difficulties in constructing the foundations meant a four-span bridge was built.
