Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation, consisting of a documentary search, survey and monitoring was undertaken as part of a programme of work to repair St Mary's Bridge, Needham Market. The current concrete bridge has stood since 1922 but beneath it timbers the brick abutments from an earlier crossing survive. The river here is a man-made channel excavated as part of the Ipswich and Stowmarket Navigation in the 18th century to by pass Hawks Mill. Documentary evidence suggests that the bridge is contemporary with the construction of the navigation and date to c.1793. |
