Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Two bridges are mentioned early in the 14th century - pons magnus and parvus pons. The names recur as the Great Bridge and Little Bridge in the 17th century. The sites of these cannot be confirmed, although the Great Bridge was probably on the site of the present town bridge or Kinderton bridge. After the canal was built, a brick bridge spanned the canal and town brook.
