Abstract: |
<summary>A limited survey of the Old Wye Bridge (Scheduled Ancient Monument, County Monument No Here & Worc 21) was undertaken in the autumn of 1990 while repairs were carried out, as a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent. This involved recording the extent of new mortar and the location of replaced stone. The earliest surviving elements of the bridge had been considered to be of late 15th century date, much altered in the 17th and 19th centuries. On close inspection, however, the structure was far more complex than expected. The most interesting features only became visible when the river was low; these included evidence of subsidence at the base of the upstream cutwater in bay 1, and the remnants of ribbed arches possibly dating to the 14th century in bays 2, 3 and 4. {italon}?Au{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM387 |
