The Barge was a frequent haunt of mine while I was doing my teacher training course after university. It was at that time a simple two-roomed pub, run by an ex - R.N. purser and his wife, and we used to play bar billiards there. It was greatly extended in later years.

   I remember the bridge as being hump-backed rather than flat. Perhaps there were two bridges.

Ah those roving bridges, such elegant curves made of stone.

Yes, this view from the winding-hole shows it is a flat bridge. The nice Mr Google shows Bull Plain Bridge (the bridge of the road called Bull Plain) on street views since 2009, and also the other local bridges as flat. On our trip we had insufficient time to sample the beer ...

This just shows how the memory can play tricks over an almost 50-year period. From your last photo, I recognise the view instantly, having walked across that bridge dozens of times. It looks as if the road surface is still cobbled, or rather what the French call "pavé", too. I do wonder if the parapet was rebuilt at some point.

Thanks again for the memories.
