| Abstract: |
Further recording took place throughout 2000 during the reconstruction of the Scheduled Bridge. To the north of the medieval bridge further evidence was recovered of the pebbled causeway across the floodplain previously revealed in trial trenching. Its extent on the eastern riverbank perhaps suggested that it led to a ford rather than to an earlier bridge, but again no dating evidence was recovered. Much of the north face of the early 15th century stone bridge buried in 1926 during widening operations, was exposed revealing considerable damage to its masonry and necessitating extensive restoration. Study of the masonry and foundations suggested that the bridge had been built in stages with the main arches and western flood arch being built before the linking sections of causeway. A series of post-medieval repairs were also identified. [Au(abr)] |
