What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: Town Bridge dates from 13th century and was doubled in width in 1769. The 17th century Lock-up may have replaced a medieval chapel. The weather vane is known as the Bradford Gudgeon. The bridge is in the care of Wiltshire County Council Recorded plaque organisation: Bradford on Avon Preservation Trust.
Town Bridge, dating from the 13th century and widened in 1769, has been a crucial crossing point over the River Avon, facilitating trade and travel in Bradford on Avon. The bridge's historical significance is enhanced by its association with the nearby 17th-century Lock-up and the iconic Bradford Gudgeon weather vane.
