Caption For Cambridge, St John's College, Old Bridge 1890
Here we see St John's College Old Bridge, originally conceived by Wren, but brought into being in 1712 by Robert Grumbold.
John Wing's 1811 bridge replaced a medieval one built or rebuilt soon after 1224; the builders probably used stone from the demolished castle, which was destroyed or 'slighted' after a punishing siege
The River Trent at Burton is now crossed by three
bridges: Burton Bridge, built in 1864, the iron Angelsey
Bridge and the Stapenhill Viaduct, which is in fact a footbridge.
Greystone Bridge is 'the fairest bridge in the two shires it links together', according to Charles Henderson and Henry Coates in 'Old Cornish Bridges and Streams'.
