Vis=est=-/-/1963 (bluett) just below the junction of the madford and balham rivers the banks of both sides of the stream are faced with large unworked stones, presumably the piers of a bridge. There is no local knowledge of a bridge here in living memory.

Vis=21/10/1975 (os) the remains of bridge abutments are visible in both banks of river. Approaches on each side appear to have been consolidated with rammed chert. Extensive and deep surface workings of about one hectare and now turf covered extend towards east side of river. It would seem that a simple bridge probably of post-medieval date was erected for the purpose of conveying quarried material via the old field way to the west and the remains of a stone culvert survives.

Vis=7/9/1992 (reed and dixon) the bridge footings mentioned above were not located. The bank is very overgrown and several areas have been subject to dumping of modern building material and concrete and aggregate in an attempt to prevent erosion.
