Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Upper Spon Street from Spon Street bridge The sandstone bridge crosses the river Sherbourne and was erected in or around 1771 (apparently this date was once inscribed on the keystone).
In the centre is the ruin of the chapel of St James and St Christopher, in existence as (probably) a wayfarers' chapel from at least 1395. It was a ruin by 1761 but pictures from the early 20th century show it as a two storey dwelling with timber framed brick additions. It suffered minor bomb damage during WWII and was reduced to its present skeletal remains in the late 1950's. Spon Street was a busy thoroughfare to the city centre until it was cut in half by the inner ring road in the late 1960s /early 1970s, this part becoming Upper Spon Street. The road over the bridge was later reduced to the current single lane. |
