Newcastle (Pons Aelius) Bridge, Vallum and Fort (info needed
#6
It appears to be so strange that the new edition I would'nt know the number of, gives the information that it is not known where the bridge is. There are clearly two altars which were found and are in the Antiquities Museum, this is the info from my 10th edition which also goes on to say that when the swing bridge was built it was found that the Roman one had piers with cut waters up and down stream. I would like very much to know just where Breeze got his information from, if people were aware of bridge piers in 1872-5 and clearly state they had double cut waters how can this now not be so. I would also like to know how our man Breeze is fairly certain that the fort is not Hadrianic but much later.
