Stones By The Old Dee Bridge

If you wait for low tide, and lean out on the west side of the Old Dee Bridge, you can see some very large blocks of stone in the water. If you look at the current alignment of Bridge Street and the bridge, it is slightly crooked, veering to the east. Since we all know that the Romans built in straight lines wherever possible, and not crookedly, and there was no real reason for the bridge to take a left, the theory is that these stones are the remains of the Roman Bridge, which collapsed into the water, and the builders of the Old Dee Bridge shifted slightly to the east to avoid them.
