Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Nine raised flood-paths are described, all occurring within the catchment of the Bristol Avon. The flood-paths were built mainly on or close to approaches to road bridges to allow dry-shod passage for pedestrians beside roads liable to flooding. The best known example in Wiltshire is the portion of Maud Heath's Causeway raised on arches at the Kellaways Bridge over the Avon. Several of the flood-paths were built during the latter part of the nineteenth century, perhaps in response to increased flooding caused by more rapid run-off due to improvements in land drainage, coupled with a period of higher rainfall. the causeways described include Holloway Bridge, Malmesbury; Rambridge, Lea; Norton Ford, Norton; Little Somerford; Dauntsey; the High Path, Sutton Benger; Maud Heath's Causeway, Langley Burrell; Reybridge, Lacock; and Footbridge, Lacock. | ||
