Abstract: |
The first Bristol Bridge was constructed in c.1000 AD., giving its name to the city, Bricgstow. This was a timber bridge, probably immediately to the west of the present bridge. The second bridge was constructed c.1250, built in stone and of four arches, the roadway soon lined with houses and with a chapel in the centre. It was demolished in c.1761. The third bridge was constructed in c.1764-68, built in stone and of three arches. Modifications were undertaken in the 1860's and 1870's to the third bridge, with it being widened on the north side and the former toll houses being demolished. Due to the quaility of documentation for the present bridge, it would be possible to restore it to its appearance in either 1768 or 1871.[Au(abr)] |
