estate agents in bradford on avon::There may have been a wooden or tree bridge over the ford in saxon times but the normans built the first stone bridge.
It was narrow and dangerous and built without parapets so that peolple kept falling into the river.
The width of the bridge was doubled by the construction of another alongside it.
Two ribbed and pointed arches of the original norman construction can still be seen on the eastern side and if you look under the bridge you can clearly see the join!
On the bridge is a small building which was originally a chapel, the fish on the weather vane is a gudgeon, an early christian symbol.
