Full description
Road Bridge: The site of a 15th century stone bridge with nine Gothic arches and projecting buttresses, removed in 1817 shortly after the present bridge was built (see PRN 12743). <1>
The bridge is recorded to have been repaired between 1690 and 1740. <2>
This is possibly the site of an earlier, timber bridge (during the reign of Henry VI). <3>
Timbers were identified in the River Dove in 1959 and again in 1995. These timbers were dated to the 18th century so are not thought to relate to the earlier timber structure. <not sourced>
A timber bridge is said to have to have existed at Tutbury during the reign of Henry IV. The suggested foundations of the wooden bridge over the River Dove at Tutbury, for which repairs are recorded in 1402-3, were said to have been visible as wooden stumps at low water to the east of the current bridge at SK 211 296. In 1960-1 many more were exposed when part of the Derbyshire bank was washed away. Approximately 40 were reported to have been visible, arranged in seven rows about 2ft apart with an overall width of 20ft. The timbers were said to have been aligned on the old entrance to Tutbury Castle (presumably John O'Gaunt's Gateway). The name 'Causeybrugge' is mentioned at Hatton in 1337. (SB, 17-Dec-2012) <4>
