Description
Brick surface- Mortared brickwork surface partially revealed within the channel, c25m north-east of Weir 1. The bricks were handmade unfrogged red bricks, 0.23m x 0.10m x 0.07m (9” x 4” x 2 3/4”), and bonded with lime-based yellow-white mortar. Brick location corresponds to a gap in the river depicted on the 1843 Tithe map and OS maps. 1963 OS map it is labelled as a footbridge. Rather than a bridge it most likely represents a recognised crossing/fording point (B1).
