:06:46. > :06:50.It was built in 1832 and thdn in part replaced in the 1960s.
:06:51. > :06:53.But we have to look underneath the bridge.

:07:15. > :07:17.We have already placed orders for replacement parts
:07:18. > :07:20.that we know have been damaged, and I would hope that we can get
:07:21. > :07:24.on and get this bridge open as soon as possible for all residents
:07:25. > :07:28.I would hope by Christmas, but that being said,
:07:29. > :07:31.we have got to make sure th`t what we do is done properly

:08:27. > :08:30.Archaeologists have made some amazing discovery
:08:31. > :08:38.As we have been digging down deeper, we are finding more and mord
:08:39. > :08:41.evidence and we are getting more and more of the story.
:08:42. > :08:43.For example, this is a drinking vessel that dates from
:08:44. > :08:48.We found this five metres bdlow the surface within a basement.
:08:49. > :08:51.This is from the 13th century - this is a leather shoe.

:10:00. > :10:02.and we will have light northerly winds.
:10:03. > :10:05.So, tomorrow morning we start on a very dry and bright note.
:10:06. > :10:08.Through the course of the morning, high cloud will start
:10:09. > :10:11.to spill in from the west, turning the sunshine hazy.
:10:12. > :10:14.So, there will be limited stnshine by the end of the afternoon
:10:15. > :10:17.tomorrow, and the odd spot of rain as well, with temperatures reaching
