Monnow Bridge is the only remaining fortified river bridge in Great Britain with its gate tower standing on the bridge. Such bridge towers were common across Europe from medieval times, but many were destroyed due to urban expansion, diminishing defensive requirements and the increasing demands of traffic and trade. The new bridge was opened in 2004 and now the Monnow Bridge is only open to pedestrians and cyclists. In the bottom right of the picture is the bus station - again now long gone. Where the two buses and cars are parked overlooking the River Monnow near to the large building there is now a car park and all the buildings between that car park and the buildings which line Monnow Street have gone to be replaced by a supermarket and small shopping arcade.
