Vgc. Good parking at south east end of old bridge. Go across the bridge, and go down to the left. The PB is near the (old course of the) river behind some barbed wire.

The PB is approached from the NW end of the medieval bridge. It is next to the Back Water on the SW face, quite awkward to get to and a slightly odd position for a BM, maybe this is why it was replaced by the nearby FB which this one should not be confused with. The PB is not listed in the OS database. http://maps.jochta.com/benchmarks.php?id=40
