History of Wadebridge
The bridge was a strategic position in the English Civil War as in 1646 Oliver Cromwell came with 500 Dragoons and 1,000 horsemen to take the bridge. When the bridge was first completed tolls were charged for its maintenance. In 1853 it was widened from 3 to 5 metres (9.8 to 16.4Â ft). A second widening took place in 1952 and then in 1963 it was again widened taking it to 12 metres (39Â ft). In 1994 the bridge underwent a refurbishment to change the stone in the pavement and to create a cycle track.
