Old Weir Bridge

The actual age of the bridge is unclear, but believed to date back to the sixteenth century. A 1780 Fisher print of the bridge shows it already had fallen into a state of disrepair by the late 1700s.^[1] and remained so for at least the next 100 years.^[3]

The bridge quickly became, (and remains) a popular trip for tourist who use the swift current to propel narrow boats down the inlet.^[1][4]

The bridge survived the devastating floods of September 1867, when local houses, including Dinis Cottage, and other wooden structures were washed away.^[5]
