Crumbs and Chronicles - The Mystery of the Brigstones

The Brigstones were long thought to be the remains of a bridge or dam at the Shipwright's Inn. The question is - was it a Roman crossing point or dam? Ian's research has unearthed the site of a bridge, a road to it, coffer dams, wharf, a bypass canal and numerous artefacts. The subject has become the basis of a television documentary involving Gary Bankhead, the underwater archaeologist. So come along and see for yourself – has the mystery of the Brigstones been solved… or are there still secrets to be uncovered?
