History of the Trent Bridges at Nottingham

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  12 February 2009

Extract

The history of the Trent bridges at Nottingham is particularly interesting. Their early history is clouded in the mists of antiquity. The site of these bridges has for many hundred years been the crossing place of the Trent, between the south of England and the north. During the excavations for the foundations of the new bridges, to which we shall refer subsequently, traces of what we may infer to have been a landingstage have been brought to light. These consist of some “cross-braced framing, formed of black oak beams trenailed, together with oak pins, the whole resting upon large unhewn blocks of stone.”
