Old Green Bridge
The Bridge at Old Green is a stone bridge of eleven arches and the lowest crossing of the Medway. Recesses in the parapet shelter foot passengers from the carts. The Bridge Wardens collect tolls of twopence a cart and fourpence a coach. No waterman will shoot the arches on the ebb. The cathedral and town stand on its eastern bank, and the carriers' half of Old Green, Strood, lies on the other.
