Agree with RHW and dal, this one isn't visible. A shed by the pub obscures part of the side of the bridge, but I doubt it hides the FB.

Couldn't find any trace. Note bridge substanially rebuilt 1929.

Old stone bridge intact. No sign of FB, possibly under car park or footway. Not clear where it would have been. Proximity of two G-series FBs suggests it may have gone.
