Located one mile east of N.H. Route 12A on Root Hill Road at the foot of Dingleton Hill in Cornish near near [blacksmthsb] over Mill Brook.
The bridge was built by James Tasker who is known to have built at least eleven bridges in the area. It was assembled in a schoolyard and then transported to the site. The farmers who used it would occasionally repair it. The bridge was restored in the summer of 1983, at a cost of $30,000, along with the restoration of the Blacksmith Shop bridge by Milton Graton. The cost of restoration was made possible from a federal Historic Preservation Fund matching grant from the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior through the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, the Putnam Foundation, the Cecil Howard Charitable Trust, the Eva Gebhard-Gourgaud Foundation, and the Town of Cornish. The Dingleton Hill Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. CODE left
