Old Dee Bridge I

The site of the Old Dee Bridge is thought to mark the point of the first timber structure erected by the Romans to cross the River Dee. Evidence suggests that it may have lain slightly to the east of the position of the current bridge (i.e. nearer towards us in the photo). Once troops and travellers had crossed over to Handbridge they could then march southwards along Watling Street, a main Roman road, or westward through the Saltney marshes through to the North Wales coast.
