Summary edit
| Description |
English: St Andrew's Bridge, Par If you take a car along the road over this bridge you would probably not even know there was a bridge here, but, as a roadside plaque explains, this bridge has a lot of history. Although this place is well inland now, in the 14th century the lower Luxulyan river was a tidal estuary and this was a stream emptying into it. It was around then that a monk from Tywardreath Priory drowned while trying to cross here on horseback. The monks responded by building a bridge. That bridge was superseded by a bridge built of granite slabs which survived until 1992 when it was replaced by the current anonymous structure due to fears that the increasing weight of traffic would break the old bridge. |
