SEARCHING The River Of An ANCIENT Medieval Bridge

Join us as we embark on a magnet fishing adventure to explore the mysteries hidden beneath the tranquil waters of the last remaining fortified river bridge in Great Britain. This iconic bridge, boasting its majestic gate tower standing proudly upon its structure, is not just a testament to architectural brilliance but also a treasure trove of history waiting to be unraveled. As we cast our magnetic lines into the depths below, will we stumble upon medieval artifacts, remnants of ancient battles, or perhaps lost treasures once guarded by the fortress above?

I’m gutted ! I only live a few miles down the road from Monmouth. As an avid fan I would love to have popped down and say hello. I often get fish n chips from the chippy next to the bridge and sit down on the steps by the river bank to eat them. As the river drops you can easily paddle around in there from one side to the other and there are large stones which I reckon would nicely capture small finds. I’ll keep my eye out for your beanie Mike 😃

I learnt to drive around Monmouth and in those days you could drive over that bridge, so this video has been extra special to watch. I've got an area for you to research on, try looking up Monnington on wye bridge. It's about 9 miles north of Hereford and although the bridge in no longer there, in its day was a vital crossing. Or how about the old wooden toll bridge at Whitney on wye. The curly bit that Steve found early on in the video is a stand to hang lamp from.

Glen, have you tried the fibre wheels for cleaning delicate metals up? Similar to the wire brush but made of nylon fibre and it removes crud but cos it's a lot softer than metal it won't remove the surface easily, they fit in a Dremel type tool, are universal, and best of all, cheap as...try Temu or Shein, don't eBay them you'll pay through the nose, Temu will get them to you inside 10 days, just a minimum order of £15...👍

@jmkfromtheuk 3 ай бұрын

They're made of nylon, 24 pieces for £4.98 on Temu, can't send you a pic but I've used them on copper tankards and they leave the surface matt finish, so a good buffing will bring it back to gleaming.
