Book excerpt: Perhaps a little less glamorous and famous than Shakespeare's Birthplace or Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Clopton Bridge stood alone for half a millennium as Stratford-Upon-Avon's only road crossing of the River Avon. Often overlooked but none the less a vital part of the life of the town, the current Clopton Bridge traces its heritage to the late 15th century. Maurice Ribbans pulls together a wealth of information and previously unpublished history for this look at a landmark structure that has played its part in making Stratford-Upon-Avon one of the treasures of England and of the world.
