Description
{1} Building recording identified that the bridge has been subject to several phases of repair, rebuilding and widening since the mid 18th-century. The 1571 bridge was found to have been largely replaced with, or encased within, later work, although several arches spanning smaller backwater channels appear to contain elements of the earlier bridge structure. {2} - In September 2018, Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by Kier WSP to undertake an historic building assessment of the Grade II Listed Oundle Bridge North. This single carriageway bridge carries the A427 across the River Nene and backwaters. The Bridge is a statutory listed structure, having two entries on the National Heritage List for England.
