Old Dee Bridge II

The bridge that stands today is said to have been built during the middle years of the 14th century. References to predecessors have been found in records that include the Domesday Book. Stone guard towers originally stood at either end of the bridge, but were demolished in 1780, and the bridge was widened in 1826 as part of a modernisation program. The guard towers were a defence against the Welsh raider that attacked from the south of the river. Handbridge was known as 'Treboeth' or 'Burnt Town because it was so often destroyed in attacks on the city.
