The 1885 Jubilee Bridge: March 25, 2025
"CAUTION: DIVING OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS"
?
This morning the village hosted a specialist diving team, checking out the condition of the bridge below our usual sight lines, preparing the ground (so to speak) for reparative work later in the year.
Built to replace the old medieval bridge, and carrying today what would have been an unimaginable volume, variety and sheer weight of traffic when it was built in 1885, it turns 140 this year.
