Bradford Bridge in Bradford on Tone in the English county of Somerset carries a road over the River Tone. It was built at some point between the 13th and 15th centuries and has been designated as a Grade II* listed building and scheduled as an ancient monument.{{cite web|title=Bradford Bridge|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1060375|website=historicengland.org.uk|publisher=English Heritage|accessdate=2 November 2014}}{{National Heritage List for England |num=1006220 |desc=Bradford Bridge|accessdate=6 April 2015}}{{cite web|title=Bradford Bridge, Bradford-on-Tone|url=http://www.somersetheritage.org.uk/record/43377|website=Somerset Historic Environment Record|publisher=Somerset County Council|accessdate=2 November 2014}}{{National Heritage List for England |num=1060375 |desc=Bradford Bridge at NGR ST 1719 2299|accessdate=6 April 2015}}
By 1667 it had been adopted as a "County Bridge". A marker stone was installed to show the area on either side of the bridge which was the responsibility of the local Justices of the Peace. It can still be seen near the White Horse Inn.{{cite web|title=Bridges along the River Tone |url=http://www.ice.org.uk/ICE_Web_Portal/media/southwest/Final-Bridges-along-the-River-Tone.pdf |publisher=Institution of civil engineers |accessdate=2 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111143114/http://www.ice.org.uk/ICE_Web_Portal/media/southwest/Final-Bridges-along-the-River-Tone.pdf |archivedate=11 November 2014 }}
