Hello again,
I seem to be repling to lots of your questions about Crowland. I think I mentioned before the book by Michael Elsdon "Aspects of Towns and Villages" It has a good section on Crowland and several pictures and text about the trinity bridge. You really should get yourself a copy if you are interested in Crowland. He still has some copies at £25 each. I am not on commision for sales of the book.
Regards
Keith

Hi

I guess you have probably already tried a search engine?  I googled 'trinity bridge crowland and there were quite a few hits, including:

'Trinity Bridge is a unique tri arch bridge that stands in the center of the town. Originally a wooden structure spanning 3 rivers, it was first mentioned in King Ethelbald's charter of AD716, 'the triangular bridge of Croyland'. In the year 1370 the wooden bridge was replaced with a stone construction that still stands today. The 3 main streets of the town were once waterways'
