A fact from Skerton Bridge appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 December2011. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Thomas Harrison's first commission was for Skerton Bridge(pictured), the first large public bridge in England to have a flat roadway, and his last commission was for Grosvenor Bridge, which has the longest masonry arch in Britain?

I have deleted the vague template because I do not see that it serves any sensible purpose. Anyone can understand that a small bridge will cross, say, a small stream, but it would take a large bridge to cross the River Lune at Lancaster. There is no way in which "small", "medium", "large" etc can be quantified (is there?). I used the specific word "large" because that is the word used in two of the cited sources, the Buildings of England series, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

Okay. I did take a brief look through the sources (that I was able to access) at the time, namely this one for sentences describing the bridge as particularly large, but I didn't find any. Based on the photo and the fact that it is called as such in the other sources you mentioned above, I think it's fine. It just caught my attention at the time.
