Is it on the Stour?


Not there - other end of the county.  Great history nearby.

Thanks JohnFilmer.  Going for the Beult was a lucky guess.


Next one ...  Another old bridge.

Grandarog, I thought you might mean those bridges, but they are in use, mine is bypassed by a new bridge alongside it.


JW has found it on Bell Lane Smarden. It’s not quite halfway between the junction at Shenley  Road and the Bell pub. It is called Hadmans Bridge.


Once more into the breach JW  :)

There are 2 Bridges over the Beult at Hertsfield allegedly on Forge Lane.. Connected by an Island in the Moddle . One is Cross in Hand  and Other is Rabbits Cross.
I only have the following to verify my guess. Further research suggests the bridges might be on Chart Hill Road which leads to Forge Lane.

Grandarog, I’m afraid Mr Google and I are having trouble finding your chosen spot.


However I’m certain that the bridge is not on Forge Lane (according to the road signs).

Apologies for the delay, I'm unable to do much when my wife is on Zoom, and then I forgot  :-\
So where is this Grade 2 listed medieval bridge - now bypassed.
