| The old road bridge at Stretton Sugwas is demolished, and the dressed stone moved to a stockpile before being transported to the Canal Trust's site at Oxenhall for use on the Ell Brook Aqueduct. The Herefordshire Council very kindly donated the stone from their Roman Road improvement scheme and arranged transport to Oxenhall. |
