Interestingly, Lincoln's medieval High Bridge has 2 arches on Speed's plan of 1603-11 (pic=https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/567453621775639281/ …)pic.twitter.com/xFwoyAI1zz
@CatherineEsse navigation during the summer months when the water level dropped. Might the other arch have been removed then?
? assume other evidence re bridge history exists? - another possibility is extra arch shown = artistic licence
Arches mentioned in the plural in 1561 & said to be once 8 of them...!
would make sense, had always imagined that whole area to be wet/marshy, w/Witham much less canalised than now
If helps, this is the suggested landscape in Roman era from fab City by the Pool (2003)pic.twitter.com/hDqJYVaLt4
ah yes :) thank you, as I'd envisaged - may even have read the book and forgotten :D
Thanks to both of you for the knowledge you've shared! I've been prowling the streets via Google Street View!
the good Dr Green's contribution is knowledge, mine is almost entirely surmise and flights of fancy :)
Hah! Nonsense :)
