Monnow Bridge
Monnow Bridge in Monmouth, Wales, is a medieval stone bridge with its gatehouse (Monnow Gate) standing mid-channel on the River Monnow. Built in stone in the late 13th century with the gatehouse added around the turn of the 14th century, it served as a defensive town gate and toll collection point and remains the only surviving fortified river bridge in Great Britain with its tower on the bridge.

As it stood in 1400
The shape it held in its prime.
A three-arched Old Red Sandstone bridge crossing a slow river, with a compact, square gate tower sitting on the central pier mid-stream. The tower has a large arched carriageway through its base, a row of arched machicolations above the gateway, narrow slit windows and a steep stone-tiled hipped roof with deep eaves. The bridge roadway is narrow, edged by low stone parapets, and the bridge meets a small riverside townscape on both banks.
