New signage installed when the A386 was diverted along Bideford Quay and the B3233 was extended from the Westleigh roundabout to the Bideford Old Bridge
One of the signs that wasn't removed when the route was downgraded from the A386 to the B3233 - as on July 2012
Patches galore! The Instow B3233 patch I think used to have Barnstaple underneath. The yellow patch is to direct overweight vehicles away from the Bideford old bridge and I am not sure what was under the A39 patch. This was replaced in early 2012.
The Long Bridge Bideford at night (C) Rod Allday
At 678 feet, Bideford bridge across the River Torridge is reckoned to be the longest in Devon. It is probably C15th, encasing timbers of a wooden bridge originally built in the late C13th. It was widened to include footpaths in 1795-1810 and further widened to provide a double carriageway by Thomas Page of London in 1867. It consists of 24 pointed arches of differing widths, believed to result from its timber origins. On either side of each one is a segmental arch added to carry the footpaths of 1795-1810.
