  1. Ding to Betelgeuse ! The Radcot bridge has had a battle named after it, and also has earthworks from the time of Stephen and Matilda, as well as during the Civil War.
  2. One of them has a battle named after it - and 2 historically separate sets of defenses/earthworks - some of which were investigated on Time Team. The other one has a name opposite to that in the original question. I asked for 2 rather than the oldest because there's some dispute about which has priority.
  3. No - Halfpenny Bridge is old, but it's not one of them.
  4. No they're regular road bridges - a bit narrow perhaps, but traffic goes over them.
  5. The bridges still exist, pretty much in their original form.
  6. The two bridges aren't in Gloucestershire, or Berkshire.
  7. Now why would it be just London ? Do you work for the BBC ? :D It's the whole Thames - and as a hint, they're NOT in London.
  8. Which are the two oldest road bridges on the River Thames ?
  9. The Humber Bridge ? Counties being mmmmmm - Lincolnshire & South Yorkshire ?
  10. Which of the McWhirter brothers was murdered by the IRA ?
  11. Who wrote the novel on which the Godfather films were based ?
  12. IIRC it was in Enfield and I am sure there used to be a cache celebrating the event :unsure: I had a memory that it was somewhere in NW London - for Barclays I think - it's amazing what sticks in your mind.
  13. Because it's a part of the kidney and no one wants a cacher's trail showing the way.
  14. I went to school with a boy called Popely - don't think he was catholic though.
