DUC #783 - ORIGINAL - TUN BRIDGE
Original image for Down Under Challenge - Tun Bridge
This is an excellent example of a 15th century bridge, note the three pointed arches. Look out for the stone trough on the left−hand side. When the village was infected with smallpox villages left money in this trough to pay farmers who brought food to the bridge. The trough was filled with vinegar in an attempt to prevent the spread of the disease.
