Newbury Bridge

            Newbury Bridge, crossing the River Kennet here at Newbury in West Berkshire, was completed in 1772 to replace earlier wooden structures dating from at least the 14th century. Despite appearances it has three arches, the two outer ones being incorporated in adjoining buildings. The Kennet & Avon Canal, mostly built in the very early 19th century, for 87 miles follows the River Avon before connecting to the River Kennet at Newbury, and then on to the River Thames at Reading. As this stone-built bridge pre-dated the canal, there was no provision for a towpath under the bridge. Thus, to haul barges a line had to be floated under the bridge and then re-attached to the horse where the towpath resumed.
