Notes about this historic site

1 Binton Bridge is at a point where the River Avon forms two small islands. There has been a bridge here since the C13. Until about 1780 the bridges were only wide enough for horse and foot traffic and extended only to the S island, the passage to the Welford side being continued through a ford. Most of the stonework of the present bridge is 17th century or later (PRN 5425), though on the E side there is some earlier masonry and possibly traces of two cutwaters, belonging no doubt to the packhorse bridge that preceded it.
