THE GREAT BRIDGE OF BURTON-ON-TRENT. 16 
Molyneux says: In 1771 to 1792 Burton was visited by great 
floods, but there are no dates given on the arches till 1791, when we 
find an oval stone on the Ist arch, east of the mill, north side, with 
the letters C.P, over it (Fig. 8, p. 16). 
In 1777 the old Bridge Chapel was pulled down and an Inn and 
tenements erected upon its site, under a lease granted to Charles 
Powis by Lord Paget,

Molyneux says, “‘The premises now converted into a brewery 
belonging to Mr. Boddington were erected shortly after as a ware- 
house in connection with the Trent Navigation between Burton and 
Gainsborough.” This constitutes the sole remains of the once famous 
Bridge.
