I am working with User:Dave.Dunford on his draft User:Dave.Dunford/Packhorse list of packhorse bridges, which he will probably merge into the existing article Packhorse bridges. I am working on the rivers (streams, really) without articles crossed by the bridges. I have already created the article on the River Kennett, in Suffolk, England. Now I have been working on the River Rase, aka River Rasen, crossed by a packhorse bridge. Here is an excerpt from his draft table, slightly altered by me. You can see that this bridge is sometimes called "Bishop's Bridge" because it was built by a bishop, ca. 1300-1320. Having a place, or according to what you say, a bridge by the same name or almost the same name, at the mouth of the River Rase, and mentions of that place, or bridge, elsewhere in Lincolnshire articles, makes for at list potential confusion, and also for difficulties in naming and writing new articles, about the river, or either of the bridges.
