2 DE1. Ashford Mill and Lees Bridges cross the River Wye and a mill-leet drawn from it, on the eastern outskirts of Ashford-inthe-Waters. Until bypassed, they carried the main road from Ashford to the east, towards Bakewell. Lees Bridge, which crosses the river, is dated to the 18 th century, with a 19 th century remodelling, when it was probably widened to the present 8m. On that basis, this bridge needs little more attention here, except to record that it has four segmental arches, each resting on seven unchamfered ribs, regularly spaced across the soffits, as shown above. Obviously this is completely anachronistic; the bridge is a pastiche. Lees Bridge almost certainly had a predecessor, completing the eastern route out of the village, but nothing of it is apparent in the present structure. In line with it, nearest the village is Mill Bridge crossing the mill leet by three segmental arches. Its fabric visible on the north-east, downstream face is ashlar gritstone, but unfortunately this is a newer extension and the older rubble-built face cannot be viewed from publicly accessible land, nor does there seem to be any photograph on the internet. Two unchamfered ribs near the upstream face of each arch must once have occupied significant portions of the soffits of the original bridge which was less than 2m wide. Cutwaters on the piers rise to triangular refuges at each face. At the north-east face, on the inner parapet wall is a stone inscribed 'M Hyde 1664, commemorating a doctor who was thrown off his horse there; the bridge in its original form is normally dated to earlier in the 17th century, and even then ribs were an uncommon feature. The photograph below of Mill Bridge shows at least one rib under two of the arches, but the junction between the original bridge and the extension cannot be seen. 2
3 DE2. Ashford Sheepwash Bridge crosses the River Wye, a tributary of the River Derwent, near the centre of the village of Ashford-in-the-Waters, and is now pedestrianised. The fabric is mainly coursed limestone rubble, though the three shallow segmental arches have random rubble soffits. Viewed from downstream, as in the photograph below, there are horizontal drip-moulds over the single flush arch rings on each arch, and between them are cutwaters rising to V- shaped refuges in the parapet walls; two upstream refuges are smaller. At either face and at each end, the walls splay outwards. On the south bank downstream, the side wall curves round to form a pen with an opening towards the river to allow the sheep dipping which gives the bridge its name. The total span is 18m, with individual arches spanning fractionally less than 4m, and the broader of two piers having a width of 3m. It has been widened at some time, at the upstream face, to 4.6m; there is a change in colouration of the soffits which is very clear in the photograph above which suggests that the width has been more than doubled from slightly less than 2m. As can also be seen, the upstream face lacks any decorative features. There is no consensus as to the build-date of the bridge, with claims ranging from the medieval to the 18 th century, but my estimate would be the 17 th century. Access to this much photographed bridge is very good 3
4 DE4. Bakewell Bridge which carries the A619 over the River Wye near the centre of the town of Bakewell is thought to date from the early 14th century. The fabric of the original bridge is at the boundary between squared rubble and ashlar sandstone, and the bridge has 5 pointed arches giving a total span of 36m. Each arch, with the greatest span, c6m rests upon square ribs, as can be seen in the photograph alongside, taken from downstream, 9 in total, but only the 5 downstream members are original; the early 19th century extension remained largely true to the original design, to the extent of incorporating ribbed soffits; the enhanced width is 7.2m, so the addition must have been of the order of 3m. The broad piers of width c2.5m carry triangular cutwaters which rise to provide pedestrian refuges, the arches have double arch rings in two orders, and there is a plain band below the parapet which may also have been rebuilt in the early 19th century. Access to river level allows both faces to be viewed, and it can be confirmed that the style of the upstream face was largely preserved after widening, though the fabric here is definitely ashlar. The photograph below was also taken from downstream, and shows the medieval aspect of this fine bridge as a whole. 4
5 DE5. Bakewell Holme Bridge spans the River Wye, a tributary of the River Derwent, upstream of Bakewell Town Centre. It comprises 5 segmental river arches, together with 2 semi-circular flood arches to the south, giving a total length of 30.6m; the river arches are in the order of 3.5m in span. There are single arch rings, very slightly recessed, below bands which follow the general profile of the bridge. The fabric is slightly irregular ashlar grit-stone. The bridge is 1.2m wide between parapets 0.7m high. There are triangular cutwaters upstream and downstream which all rise to give refuges. The roadway is flagged. There is documentary evidence that the bridge was built in 1664, and it was probably part of a packhorse route. Access is good around the bridge. 5
6 DE6. Baslow Bridge over the River Derwent, in the village of the same name, has been bypassed by a new bridge carrying the A619 east to Bakewell. There is some dispute over the build-date, with the Listing suggesting the early 17 th century, backed by an inscription of 1608 on the structure, while Jervoise implies a 15 th century date, and suggests major repairs in 1649, on the basis of documentary evidence. My own view is somewhere between on the basis of appearance; perhaps the first half of the 16 th century. The fabric is sandstone ashlar, and there are three stilted segmental arches, each with six unchamfered ribs below. There are triangular cutwaters upstream and downstream which rise to provide refuges at carriageway level. The bridge has a total length of 30m, with the central arch spanning 9.4m and rises gently towards the centre; it is 3.8m wide between the parapets, showing no sign of having been widened. There are double arch rings in two orders, and the cutwaters on relatively slender piers rise to provide refuges. Shown alongside is a small gabled toll booth, attached to the northwest end of the bridge; the booth has a stone slate roof and coped gable with moulded kneelers. The doorway beneath a lintel has a depressed ogee arch. The bridge is easily viewed from downstream, by way of a path to the river-bank, from where the photograph below was taken. 6
7 DE7. Beeley One-Arch Bridge, at the south end of Chatsworth Park, carries the B6012 across the River Derwent. It has a number of features found on medieval bridges, and left Jervoise ambivalent about its age, but in fact it is a pastiche erected in The fabric is a mixture of coursed squared sandstone and ashlar. There is a single segmental arch, decorated with triple stepped arch-rings below plain hood moulds. The span is 20.7m rising 9m, and the bridge has a definite peak. Five unchamfered ribs occupy the full width of the soffits. The carriageway is 3.6m wide. There are triangular buttresses on each bank. The parapet has a plain band and chamfered coping. Access is easy around the bridge though a car will have to be parked some distance away. It appears here because it is certainly a successful representation of a medieval masonry bridge, even if it does break my date rules for inclusion, and because it is an impressive spectacle. 7
8 DE8. Besthill Bridge is also known as Broadbottom Bridge for the village in which it is found and carries a minor road over the River Etherow which flows into the River Goyt, a tributary of the River Mersey. It is a few miles west of Glossop. The bridge has a single segmental arch of span 20.5m, which is somewhat distorted, though not pointed as claimed in the Listing. The main part of the structure is formed from coursed fine rubble slices, but the parapets, which are clearly newer, are ashlar. The most striking features are the triple arch rings in three orders, made up of dressed voussoirs. The bridge is 3.3m wide and carries one-way traffic. Jervoise bemoans the fact that the bridge is overshadowed by a railway viaduct, so it is easy to imagine what he would think of the very obtrusive metal footbridge which now crosses the river a few yards upstream, though from the viewpoint of safety given the amount of traffic on the road, it fulfils a real need. There is agreement that the bridge dates from It is not easy to observe as a whole entity because of trees downstream and the footbridge upstream, and I have had to use the photograph below taken from the Listing. 8
9 DE9. Cromford Bridge carries a minor road across the River Derwent, and is distinguished from all other bridges in Derbyshire by its three four-centred arches, and ruined chapel on the southern bank. The fabric is at the boundary between squared rubble and ashlar, and the shape of the arches implies a late medieval construction date, around The remarkable double arch rings are in two orders but also double chamfered, bearing some resemblance to those on nearby Matlock Bridge. The original width of the bridge was 3.6m, but it was widened by 2.5m in the early 19 th century on the upstream, western face; the junctions are clearly visible in the un-ribbed soffits, as shown alongside. The modifications were strictly functional, as the extended arches are segmental and plain, as shown in the middle photograph. The total span of the bridge is 29m, with individual arches contributing just over 8m each, and the piers, with cutwaters cut-off at parapet level, about 2.5m each. Access downstream is good though there is some obscuration by trees, as can be seen in the photograph below. 9
10 DE10. Darley Bridge carries the B5057 across the River Derwent, a few miles north of Matlock. The bridge fabric is largely ashlar sandstone, and it comprises 5 visible arches, (apparently, there may be two more now buried), all of which are semi-circular as viewed on the widened upstream face, but two are pointed when viewed from downstream. One of the latter, the central arch, has four slightly worn rather than chamfered ribs beneath, as shown alongside. The two are the survivors of a bridge which probably dates back to the late 15 th century. Although access is good, the foliage on the east bank is so thick that the easternmost second pointed arch cannot be seen, though it is visible in a photograph presented by Jervoise. I have as yet found no information as to why and when the major rebuilding took place, the exact amount of widening, (which seems to have been by something over a third), or indeed any other dimensional details. The photograph below shows the general appearance, viewed from downstream. 10
11 DE11. Dorothy Vernon s Bridge crosses the River Wye, and is within the Haddon Hall estate, south-east of the hall itself. It is a footbridge named for Dorothy Vernon, daughter of the then owners, who by legend eloped by way of the bridge with a scion of the Manners family, then Earls, now Dukes of Rutland, in the 16 th century. It comprises two segmental arches of gritstone rubble, with single flush arch rings of shaped voussoirs. The pier carries cutwaters capped below the parapets upstream and downstream. The pathway is 0.9m wide, and the parapets are low. As usual, with such bridges its age is open to doubt; though perhaps not around for the use of Miss Vernon in the mid-16 th century, the long existence of the tale supports the normally quoted 17 th century build-date. It is visible from the hall gardens. 11
12 DE12. Dove Bridge at Doveridge carried the A50 trunk road over the River Dove until bypassed in the late 20 th century; it now carries only farm traffic. According to Jervoise, the bridge may date from the 14 th century; it comprises 6 arches which rise very gently towards the centre. The outer arches, two at each end, viewed from downstream, are pointed with single chamfered arch rings below hood moulds, and presumably were part of the original bridge, but the central two are semi-circular and plain. The latter are thought to date from 1691, which date is carved on the parapet. The fabric is uniformly, coursed squared sandstone. Many of these features are shown on the above photograph of the 2 nd and 3 rd arches from the west, taken of course from downstream. Apparently, one pointed arch sits on four ribs, by process of elimination it must be one of the outside ones. There are large triangular cutwaters which rise to form refuges at the level of the carriageway. The total span is 57m, which might mean that the individual arches span approximately 7.5m each; the width between the parapets was 3.3m until 1915 when the bridge was widened on the upstream face by 3.9m, as clearly shown in both photographs. Thus the upstream view is of a modern bridge, even though some effort was made to conform to the previous style by incorporating cutwaters rising to refuges; the arch shapes are basically segmental but curiously irregular. Although the downstream face of the bridge is clearly visible from the bypass, parking is an issue, and I have not yet been able to view the bridge close-up. 12
13 DE13. Duffield Bridge carries a minor road across the River Derwent to the east of the town from which it takes its name. Jervoise describes 3 segmental arches, but in fact the photograph below suggests that the two to the east (right hand side) are slightly pointed, while that to the west is 4-centred. This latter arch which is almost certainly older than the others, is shown in rather more detail alongside, and can just about be seen to have double arch rings built in two orders with moulded edges. Although the soffits are, like the rest of the bridge, constructed of smooth sandstone ashlar throughout, there is clear evidence of a junction where the original 3.9m width was increased on the upstream face to 7.5m in Although the well maintained ashlar fabric does not convey great antiquity, it seems possible that the oldest western arch dates from the 16 th century, and perhaps that damage sustained before the middle of the 17 th century, led to the rebuilding of the other arches in rather plainer fashion, though following an older gothic template, since it is thought that the bridge as seen from downstream was standing in According to Jervoise, the total bridge length is 90m, so allowing for two broad piers, the spans of the individual arches must be c28m. The bridge is easily viewed from downstream, though unfortunately the western arch is rather obscured by shrubbery. 13
14 DE16. Froggatt Bridge crosses the River Derwent carrying a road connecting the A625 which is on the left bank and the B6001, on the right, passing through the village of the same name. Most traffic now crosses the river further downstream. The listing gives a date of the late-17th century, though Jervoise suggests fifty years earlier, but it seems that the major part was refashioned in the mid-19 th century. The result is an unusual and visually unappealing structure with two very different spans, the earlier lower arch being segmental, and separated by a pier with large cutwaters rising to refuges, from the later wider pointed arch to the north east. The fabric is coursed and ashlar grit-stone, the later work rock-faced with chamfered rustication. An indented band course is at the heads of the arches, and above there is a parapet of rusticated masonry with deep horizontal channelling. The faces of the arch stones of the pointed arch are also deeply channelled, but radially. The total span is 27m, distributed between the pointed arch, c11m, the segmental arch, c6m, and the broad pier, c3.5; the bridge width is 2.7m and it is un-widened. The bridge is easily viewed from downstream where there is a riverside trail; although the pointed arch can only be viewed as a modern pastiche, one of a few in the county, it may have followed the template of an older predecessor. 14
15 DE17. Grindleford Bridge is the furthest upstream of the fine group which cross the River Derwent in Derbyshire; it is in a village of the same name, just south of Hathersage and carries the B6521. It comprises three near-semi-circular arches spanning 25m in total, c6.7m per arch, and given that Jervoise rather contradicts himself by assigning it most probably to the 18 th century, and then mentioning repairs in 1706, it is best to go with the Listing s build-date of the 17 th century. It was widened to 5.1m with an extension on the upstream face, probably from c3.1m, in the late 18 th century, judging by the appearance of the smooth soffits. Features of this face are ashlar fabric, single flush arch rings, rounded cutwaters with domed caps, and a broad band-course. Unfortunately the downstream, original face has been obscured in part by a railed walkway, of curious construction supported on ashlar pillars with cutwaters, as shown above. This face was also ashlar, but there were double unchamfered arch rings in two orders. The postcard view below shows this aspect of the bridge before the walkway was added. 15
16 DE18. Haddon Hall Bridge: Haddon Hall is a mansion just north of the A6, a few miles south-east of Bakewell. The entrance drive crosses the River Wye, a tributary of the River Derwent, by means of a bridge comprising 3 segmental arches built of coursed, squared gritstone rubble. There are double arch rings made from dressed voussoirs, the lower ones recessed. Jervoise wrongly refers to ribs in the soffits which are in fact smooth apart from some minor protuberances. The piers are heavy and each carries large triangular cutwaters, upstream and downstream, and they rise to provide refuges in the roadway which is little more than 3m wide, though it splays outwards at each end of the bridge. There is documentary evidence for a build-date of 1663 though there have been later repairs. The bridge can be easily viewed, on obtaining paid admission to Haddon Hall. 16
17 DE20. Little Eaton Bridge at the Town is at the centre of the village of Little Eaton, on the northern outskirts of Derby; it carries a local access road across the Bottle Brook, a very small tributary of the River Derwent. Unfortunately, it proved totally impossible to get any sort of view of the lower parts of the bridge, though in this case enough of the parapets could be seen to confirm that they sloped outwards, had rounded copings and curved outwards at each end of the bridge, as described by the Listing. According to the description there, the bridge has three semi-circular arches, two small and to the east spanning one channel of the brook, and a third, larger and to the west spanning another channel. The Listing dates the bridge to the 17 th century. Neither my own photographs nor the meagre results of an extensive trawl of the internet are worth including. It is possible that as shrubs die back in winter, it will be possible to see more and I intend to visit again. 17
18 DE21. Matlock Bridge carries a road from the A6 over the River Derwent into the village named for it. The medieval bridge dating from the 15 th century is to be seen from downstream; the fabric is squared rubble gritstone. It has 4 pointed arches, each of which has a chamfered arch ring below a rolled hood-mould. There are triangular cutwaters, cut off at the level of the obviously modern parapets. The bridge was originally 4m wide but was widened, to 9.3m in 1904 according to Jervoise. The transition is clearly visible on the un-ribbed soffits of each arch and as far as can be seen on the upstream face, shown in the upper photograph, because the new masonry is ashlar. Rather curiously, the triangular cutwaters upstream have been extended upwards to carriageway level to form refuges; they were not a feature of the original bridge. The pointed arch shape has been retained in the 1904 modifications as has the décor above the arches, but the different stonework makes the effect look different, and I think it an unfortunate anachronism. The medieval aspect is shown in the view from downstream, below. 18
19 DE22. Mayfield Hanging Bridge carries the A52 across the River Dove and an adjacent mill stream, between the counties of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, just south-west of Ashbourne. The complexity of the bridge is only really visible at river level. From there it can be seen as in the photograph alongside, that the river was originally spanned by two pointed arches, each with two moulded arch-rings wrapping into the soffits, and separated by a robust pillar with curiously small cutwaters, upstream and downstream. A further three pointed arches with similar arch rings negotiated the mill stream and its low-lying surrounds to the south-east. The fabric was squared, coursed sandstone blocks, and the soffits of all five arches are smooth without ribs. However, the medieval structure is now wholly contained in a modern bridge made of concrete with squared sandstone facings; the two river arches sit below a single segmental arch, buttressed on each bank, while each of the three lesser arches is beneath a segmental arch. As an added quirk, the river arches are nearer the downstream face of the modern bridge, than the other, but a small difference of alignment causes the medieval lesser arches to slant across the line towards the upstream faces of the modern millstream arches. The medieval bridge may date back to the 14 th century when it had a width about 3m. The widening on the downstream side is thought to date to 1760, and added 2.4m, while the refurbishment of 1937 brought the total width up to nearly 10m. The name Hanging Bridge is supposed to relate to an event during the Young Pretender s retreat from Derby in December 1745, when stragglers were caught and hanged, purportedly from the bridge. Access is fairly good all-round. The photograph below shows the lesser arches; both photographs were taken from downstream. 19
20 DE23. Melbourne New Bridge carries a minor road over the Ramsley Brook, a very small tributary of the River Trent; it is just west of the Derbyshire village of Melbourne. Unfortunately I was able to get no sort of view of the bridge, even looking over the parapets, and no photograph was available from the internet. At this stage, I will report the comments in the Listing that the original bridge comprised two rubble-built four-centred arches separated by a triangular cutwater, now visible as the downstream north face. Apparently, it was widened to the south during the 20 th century, but nothing is said about the form or scale of the extension. The original bridge is dated to the 17 th century. Another source suggests that the original bridge has in fact been replaced. I shall look to revisit the site in the early spring when the plant growth might be low enough to allow matters to be resolved. 20
21 DE24. Milldale Viator s Bridge which crosses the River Dove, about 5 miles north of Ashbourne is famous in part because of its appearance in the 17 th century book, The Compleat Angler. The fabric is roughly squared rubble, with much larger blocks in the lower parts of the bridge, below the parapets. The bridge comprises two unequal 4-centred arches with a total span of 12.5m, with the larger contributing c5.5m and separated by a pier 2.5m wide from the smaller, of span 4.5m. The width is 1.2m between parapets now 0.9m high, which have almost certainly been raised at some point. The bridge is normally dated to the early 16 th century. Originally it may have been part of the route to a nearby copper mine, but now it is a staging post for many hikers. Access is good around the bridge, which is viewed from upstream in the photograph below. 21
22 DE25. New Mills Bridge is in a Derbyshire township, called New Mills, a few miles south-east of Stockport. It links the two parts of the town across the River Sett which feeds the River Mersey by way of the River Goyt. There are apparently two segmental arches of no great age, but there has been much haphazard reconstruction, and at the core is thought to be a narrow medieval bridge, less than 2m wide. As usual the best idea of this can be gained by looking at the soffits though they are not very accessible in this case. The upper photograph of the eastern arch, taken from downstream, shows the lower part of the concrete beam which carries the road outwards to ease access; behind it are the predecessor segmental arch, set on two ribs belonging presumably to the original bridge. There is a cutwater upstream, and the eastern arch, through which the river flows, has a recessed arch ring. The date of construction can only be an estimate, but the central portion may date back to the 15 th century. The lower photograph, also taken from downstream shows the general layout. 22
23 DE26. Rowsley Bridge carries the A6 over the River Derwent, just to the south of Chatsworth House. The original bridge was built of sandstone ashlar blocks in the 15 th century according to the Listing, and Jervoise notes that it was repaired in the 1680s. This bridge survives at the south-eastern, downstream face comprising five pointed arches, with double chamfered arch rings and ribbed soffits, (most likely 4 chamfered ribs); each arch spans c6.9m. They are separated by broad piers, close to 3m wide, which carry triangular cutwaters topped off below parapet level. The parapet walls with steeply chamfered copings rise slightly towards the middle and splay out at the ends. In the width was increased from 4.8m to 12m by extending the bridge upstream and as a result the north-western aspect is very different with plain segmental arches. It is quite likely that there had been a previous upstream widening operation of lesser magnitude, but I cannot confirm this. Unfortunately, I could find no way to view the bridge from below, so can only present a rather old photograph, taken pre-1925 from the east, and an old print beneath it, both obtained from the internet. My own observations could only confirm the general lay-out as of now. The print alongside suggests the bridge width between low parapets was already 4.8m, but that passing on the bridge was best avoided. Arch rings and soffit ribs are clearly visible. 23
24 DE28. St. Mary s Bridge, Derby crosses the River Derwent near the centre of Derby, and is a fine mid-18 th century structure, opened in 1788; as such it does not require much attention here. As can be seen from the photograph alongside of the south, downstream face, (the upstream face is the same) it comprises three segmental arches spanning 45m with rounded cutwaters, and recessed double arch rings below hood moulds. There are many classical features, including most obviously the parapets at the sides of a 9m wide carriageway. The structure is of ashlar construction. The reason for its appearance here is that parts of its predecessor, a narrow 14 th century bridge with eight semicircular arches on heavy piers survive. There is a chapel dating from the 15 th century, on the south side of the western approach to the bridge. It rested on the old bridge and remnants, including part of one of the segmental arches of the old bridge, can be clearly seen in the middle photograph; the river is to the left of the frame of the photograph. The rubble fabric and dressed voussoirs are of the original bridge. I have also found the lowest photograph showing the bases of the old piers, aligned with the chapel and the bridge remnants beneath it, above the water surface when the River Derwent was running exceptionally low. 24
25 DE29. Swarkeston Bridge and the long causeway associated with it carry the A514 across the River Trent and low level land beside it, a few miles south of Derby. A bridge is first referred to in Parts of the present causeway date from the late 13 th or early 14 th century. The bridge over the river to the north, which had a medieval chapel on it, was destroyed by floods in 1795 and replaced between by a new bridge which has been repaired and strengthened on a number of occasions since, most obviously by the insertion of blue brick strengthening arches in Its fabric is coursed squared sandstone, ashlar, with repairs and strengthening in red and blue brick; there are five segmental arches ramped to the centre, spanning a bit less than 80m, and between them are semi-circular cutwaters with rounded tops and pilaster strips above. The river bridge is shown below. In the context of this document the causeway to its south is of greater interest, a general view from the east is shown below and its elements are listed in order from the river bridge southwards. First is a segmental arch partially rebuilt in 1977; then a triangular buttress and a group of rebuilt round arches; then a pair of 14 th century pointed arches, strengthened with 18 th century red brick ribs and engineering bricks of 1899, and widened to the east. Next is a group of medieval pointed arches with triangular buttresses, but with the arches also lined with engineering bricks in 1899, and again widened to the east in There is an extensive length of medieval string course on parapets before the next group of three medieval arches with triangular buttresses, the arches lined with engineering brick and widened to the west in Then there is a pair of later arches and a similar pair of medieval arches, with the parapet to the east renewed in red brick. Further lengths of medieval string course and a medieval cutwater to the east flanked by later arches and the springing point of a medieval arch follow. Then there are yet more lengths of medieval stringcourse and a pair of rounded arches with stepped voussoirs; possibly these are two arches known to have been rebuilt in Finally there is a well-preserved group of six medieval arches and a seventh segmental arch rebuilt in
26 The latter group of six pointed medieval arches, which span between 3.3 and 5.6m, have double chamfered arch rings and rest on five chamfered medieval ribs. They were widened to the west in 1854 and a further three unchamfered ribs were incorporated, as shown in the photograph alongside. Unfortunately, access to view one of the oldest and most interesting bridges in England is poor for the most part, excepting the 18 th century river bridge. The next photograph is as good (or bad) a photograph as I was able to obtain of this group of medieval arches, and is included mainly to give an idea of the observation problems. 26
27 DE30. Youlgreave Bridges are in a small village of the same name, a few miles south of Bakewell, which sits on the north side of a steep valley formed by the River Bradford, which flows into the River Derwent by way of the River Lathkill. A number of interesting small bridges of various types cross the said river, and are mostly assigned by the Listing to the 18 th century, though older predecessors are mentioned. They appear here because the well-known uncertainties in dating of such bridges mean that I cannot definitely exclude them all. The span of the packhorse bridge, shown above is 3m, its width, just over 1.1m, and the parapets, 0.7m high with rounded coping stones. The fabric is rubble. (The details of this bridge are in Tables 8 & 9.) The next bridge upstream is of modified clapper style carrying a road, above a set of 5 rectangular channels. 27
28 Moving further upstream, a proper clapper bridge is encountered. The fabric is limestone, and it comprises seven blocks placed on the riverbed, topped by five long slabs. To the north end one slab has cracked and an extra rubble pier has been inserted. Finally, a few hundred yards upstream there is another clapper bridge, apparently of later vintage, together with a nearby pillar, seen below in the background, which was probably part of its predecessor. None of these bridges is of itself particularly impressive, and they may or may not deserve inclusion on account of their build-dates, but their grouping in a picturesque valley, and the easy access which can be gained, makes them well worth visiting. 28
29 NT1. Eel Pie Bridge is on the Old London Road, alongside the A1, to the south of Retford, and crosses the River Maun which carries water to the River Trent by way of the River Idle. It is between West Drayton and Markham Moor, and the name refers to its location near Eel Pie House. As can be seen from the small image alongside, the bridge comprises two pointed arches, each of which has a single chamfered arch ring; the latter is better seen in my own photograph below. There is an upstream cutwater and the fabric is coursed rubble. The bridge length is just over 8m, with each arch contributing 3m, and the heavy pier 2m; the original width was 3.6m. It was widened during the 20 th century, on each face by setting 4 concrete angles, into a brick layer above the old stonework, to support concrete beams which carry the roadway and low concrete parapets. Metal rails are affixed between the vertical members of the angles and pillars which were built at the ends of the bridge. As a result the carriageway is now 5.4m wide, but no-one could describe the modification as pleasing to the eye. Various sources suggest that the bridge dates to the very early 17 th century, though the Gothic arch shape and chamfering of the arch rings imply a significantly earlier build date. Unless it was a pastiche, which seems unlikely on a heavily used long distance route, it must date back to c1500. Access to the river bank was difficult through summer vegetation, and the view was greatly obstructed by high plants, so that only one arch could be seen. 29
30 NT2. Nottingham Castle Bridges. The castle, now largely replaced by a partly restored mansion, is on a steep crag near the centre of Nottingham. The entrance is by way of an outer bridge over what was a moat and through a gatehouse, both of which are shown alongside. The lower stonework which is of rubble dates back to the years , saving the left hand arch which replaced a drawbridge in c1550. The right-hand arch is pointed and has double chamfered arch rings in two orders, together with 4 chamfered ribs, just about visible in the soffits. The left hand arch is stilted and could be described as 3-centred, or near semicircular. It is some years since I visited the castle, and my interest then in bridges was less particular, but I remember the pathway as of the order of 3m wide. The change in colouration in the upper part of the bridge and gatehouse signals a major refurbishment of 1908 when the parapets were rebuilt. On grounds of age and state of preservation this is an important artefact. Much less impressive is the other medieval bridge, which spans the depression which was the middle moat, giving access to the middle bailey. Again it is a replacement for a drawbridge and was built in the 16 th century, though a few decades later than its equivalent in the outer bridge. However it has been refurbished in 1878 and in 1984, so it is difficult to be sure how much original stonework remains. It is a segmental, stilted arch in a long causeway. There are single flush arch rings and the fabric is roughly coursed rubble. The photograph alongside and that above have been taken from the internet, though I hope to replace them with my own at some stage. 30
31 NT3. Old Trent Bridge gave access to Nottingham from the south until replaced by Trent Bridge which now carries the A60 across the River Trent. It is suggested that the first bridge near the site, then some distance south of the much smaller city, was built at the instigation of King Edward the Elder in 924. It was probably mainly wooden, but lasted in some form, until 1156, when a replacement known as Heth Beth Bridge was built with a chapel as part of the structure. The next major event was a repair programme which may have amounted to a rebuild in 1364, and it is to then that the earliest surviving masonry is attributed. By the 17 th century it was fairly dilapidated; an arch fell down in 1630, and it was then seriously damaged by skirmishing during the Civil War. However, it was rebuilt in 1684 to the extent needed and then had 15 arches spanning 205m, and a width of 6m. Further repairs were carried out at intervals, until in 1871 a new bridge was built, and soon afterwards the old bridge was demolished; the two are shown together in the old photograph which is uppermost. The variations in the forms of the arches and cutwaters presumably reflect the repairs and rebuilds. Two medieval flood arches have been preserved on the south-east bank; the south-west faces are shown in the middle, the north-east below. Comparing the left hand river arch in the top photograph with the flood arch shown immediately above, one sees the same pointed shape, the double chamfered arch rings in two orders set below hood moulds, and the coursed rubble fabric; this strongly suggests that some medieval river arches were kept in The bridge was clearly widened more than once, and may have been little more than 2m wide in the 14 th century. The west face seen in the middle photograph shows the face of the most recent extension, perhaps in the 18 th or early 19 th century; the arches are segmental, and the arch rings flush and much simpler. 31
