Even today, the remains of this route remain visible, extending between the Royal Oak at Langstone and Northney shore with oak stumps marking part of the route.<br /><br />A piece of timber found at the Hayling end of the wadeway was proved by carbon dating to be 3,000 years old, indicating how long this route has been used. It bears marks of a bronze age axe.crossleydd42https://www.blogger.com/profile/05453918977873362519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-23215238629592139762012-02-03T12:30:44.121+00:002012-02-03T12:30:44.121+00:00Possibly.

Having looked more closely at the picture of the supporting timberwork (above) I reckon the the bridge would have been closed totally in today's litigious environment.

It reduced the weight at any particular point on the bridge - notably the pressure from the wheels of the bus - by spreading the load over a wider area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
