Way back in January 2013, we did a post on other bridges named High Bridge, and in that blog, we mentioned the High Bridge in Lincoln, England.
That particular High Bridge was constructed in the year 1160. It is one of the earliest known masonary bridges to be found in England. We recently came across a photo of that bridge from the other angle and thought that the readers here would be interested in seeing it:
This is in comparison to the earlier view of the photo posted, which is shown here:
There is another picture of this same view taken in 1902, as they reconstructed the bridge, which looked fairly interesting:
In this photo, you can see the original half-timber construction used in the structure.
It is our understanding that there is, now, a wonderful coffee shop on the ground floor.
What a delight to have a bridge with so much character.
