Summary
Description |
The North and South Brink, along the River Nene in Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. "The river Nene, on both sides of which the town is situated, is here crossed by a bridge, consisting of one arch, of an elliptical form,and about seventy-two feet in span. From this bridge a very good view of the town is obtained, presenting a strange appearance to the visitor. Vessels of 100 tons can come up to the quay, the navigation of the river having been very much improved by means of a straight cut from Peterborough." The bridge was replaced by an iron structure in 1855-57, and in turn by a concrete one in 1931. |
