The first bridge was a wooden structure built shortly before 1210. Stanihurst, writing in 1586, states that 'diverse of the poales, logs and stakes with which the bridge was underpropt, sticke to this daie in the water' (Hore 1900-11, vol. 1, 52). In 1313 the town received a grant of pontage in order to build a new bridge between Ross and Rosbercon (ibid. 178). The bridge was destroyed in the siege of the town in 1643 and it was not rebuilt until 1796 (ibid. 112). (Bradley and King 1990, 106) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 August, 2012
