Descrizione:

Planks were frequently used to bridge narrow water courses. 1610 <i>the planks between Brampton & Acley</i>, Auckley (PR); 1623 <i>the bridge ... on the highway within ... Kirkby Wiske and Ottrington commonly called Newby Planckes</i> (NRQS3/172); 1679 <i>noe man shall make their waye over a planke in the middle of a close called the long Holme,</i> Slaithwaite (DT287). North Riding bridge accounts suggest that a wooden foot-bridge was sometimes erected which linked the causey with the main bridge. In 1624 a Kirby Wiske yeoman was indicted <i>for not repairing his parte of the cawsey att the bridge-end over the Wiske, besides his planckes, as others his neighbours usuallie doe </i>(NRQS3/191).
