NEWTON AND BIGGIN
WATLING STREET (A5)
Dow Bridge
II
Road bridge (now disused) carrying Watling Street over the River Avon. An
1838 partial rebuild of an earlier bridge (probably C18). Tooled coursed
ashlar. Chamfered coping. 6 elliptically headed arches; the arch to the
NW has a keystone carrying the date 'W.P. 1838'. The 2 NW arches almost
completely rebuilt in 1838 (perhaps retaining the earlier cutwater), but
considerable sections of an earlier bridge survive (built of rougher coursed
masonry), especially at the SE end. The road level has been built up to the
level of the parapet coping. A 1722 engraving of an earlier bridge is to be
found in Warwickshire Record Office; it is possible that the present structure
incorporates sections of the bridge illustrated.
