High Bridge

The high winds of yesterday have now calmed down but for how long ?, so a trip into town this afternoon to take a few shots this one is for Historian31 as promised.
It shows the High Bridge in Lincoln with its old shops spanning it one of only 3 bridges in England to have shops spanning it
High Bridge, in the center of modern Lincoln, spans the River Witham. The Shops on High Bridge (207, 209-210 High Street) date from the 16th century, but the history of the bridge itself goes back to the 12th century, with additions in the 13th, 16th and 19th centuries. In June 1720, William Harrison and his wife, Ellen, commenced a 21 year lease of the house on High Bridge. The house formerly belonged to John Heath and later to Alderman John Copall
There are flights of steps on either side of the bridge that lead to the River Witham, and to where the Glory Hole can be seen. [A Glory Hole is the name often given to the underneath of a bridge.] High Bridge is believed to be the second oldest masonry arch bridge in the country.
