	Monnow Bridge and Gate
		Before works to strengthen the foundations of Monnow Bridge, boreholes and excavations were undertaken which revealed remains of the previous wooden bridge directly under the present stone one.
		Being several years before the bridge was widened on that upstream side, the new passageway was actually through part of the tower outside the bridge sides.
		Plans to close Monnow Bridge to vehicles and to build a new bridge nearby were examined and postponed many times by the local government.

		The cobbled square is dominated by the arched, Georgian Shire Hall, in which is embedded an eighteenth-century statue of the Monmouth-born King Henry V, victor of the Battle of Agincourt, in 1415.
		At the very bottom of Monnow Street, the road narrows to squeeze into the confines of the seven-hundred-year-old Monnow bridge, crowned with its hulking stone gate of 1262, that served both as a means of defence for the town and a toll-collection point.

		The morning of the official opening ceremony brought with it the calmer weather that the community opening the day before had not enjoyed [the Crier reporter was not there but saw a large quantity of very damp people at the top of the town later that morning].
		And so the new bridge was open and shortly after 10.30am the last car passed over the Old Monnow Bridge before new traffic regulations took effect.
		The main thing is that the town has a new crossing and that the Old Monnow Bridge will now, after more than seven centuries of hard work and its fair share of alterations [planned and accidental], get a well earned rest.
