Description: | The Wye Bridge was built in 1617. Originally comprising five 36ft spans, the bridge was widened in 1879 with two arches added at each end, leaving it almost 290 ft in length. Although constructed much later than the nearby gated Medieval crossing of the Monnow to the west of the town, Wye Bridge was rumoured to have had a gateway installed in its centre for purposes of defence. | Subjects: | Aerial View Townscape | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Wingham, H A | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
