The bridges

There has been a bridge at Mansbridge since 932, when it was referred to as Mannysbrigge in King Athelstan’s charter to the prior of St. Swithun’s Priory in Winchester. In the Domesday Book of 1086, the location was recorded as Manebrige or Manesbrige Hundred, within the county of Hantscire. A wooden bridge by the name of Blak Bridge was described as being “a little above Woodmill” (i.e. upstream of Woodmill in Swaythling) by Leland in 1535–43.

The Grange

The Grange had an extensive ornamental garden, containing a diverse collection of trees. After World War II the house fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished around 1970. The grounds are now a part of the Monks Brook Greenway, a nature trail.

Southampton water supply

A pumping station was set up at Mansbridge to take water from the River Itchen and transfer it to a pair of reservoirs on Southampton Common. The pumping station ceased being used in 1892.
