in the necessary repairs the old character and the old materials will be preserved. The whole building is on so small a scale and the stream is so shallow, that the expense would be trifling. The old foundations stood for one year short of two and a half centuries. It can be no great matter for modern science to put in foundations which will last twice as long. The present craze for building bridges of wide spans hardly applies to this bridge, under which no boats pass and very little water. The roadway is narrow, but not so narrow as to be dangerous, and if it were wished to widen it, this could easily be done without altering the character of the bridge.
Most people have now learned to appreciate the value of our show pieces of architecture; cathedrals, churches, castles, great houses and the like are carefully preserved. But this way-side architecture, as one may call it, has an importance which few realise, because most people go about with their eyes shut unless they are out on a sight-seeing expedition, when they half open them. The old bridges, the old cottages, even the old garden walls, are precious now, because they are rare and because in the old days these things were made comely and gracious, and now they are made, for the most part, harsh and ugly.
