Notes about this historic site

1 Bridge marked.
2 The bridge is apparently of two quite distinct styles – the N half is a brick single-arched, humped Victorian-looking structure; while the S half is a very modern concrete walkway. It is possible that the brick structure originally spanned the river and that the river has got wider, or that the brick bridge had a further arch which had disappeared.
