This rang alarm bells in my head. Leland was alive in the sixteenth century, how could he have been writing about the demolition of a bridge in the nineteenth century? Harrison in The Bridges of Medieval England attributes this to Henderson and Coates, and Google Books seems to corroborate this despite it being a snippet view. I've edited this.
I've also built a Wikimedia Commons category and linked to the pre-existing Wikidata page (someone built Wikidata entries for all listed buildings in the UK, which is nice). It was a great reminder of Cornish holidays to read this! Blythwood ( talk) 00:32, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
