The bridge as altered when the houses on it were pulled down soon
after the middle of the eighteenth century. The wide arch was then
formed by the removal of a pier, two arches being thrown into one,
which nearly caused the collapse of the fabric. An archaic steamer
has a greyhound painted on its paddle-box.
