Description
Research project on the Gunfleet Estuary, 2015
Holland bridge crosses the holland Brook at its lower reaches, it is the most recent of the three bridges across the holland Brook, and post-dates the silting-up of the Gunfleet estuary. It is first mentioned in 1765 and is thought to date to just before that date. The current bridge is early 20th century. Until recently there was a metal sign indicating the boundary between the Great and Little Holland parishes. <1>
