"Friday night, in consequence of the great swell of water, owing to the quantity of rain that had fallen within the week, the bridge at Charmouth was washed away. A house occupied by Mr.Burnard, in the manufacture of sail cloth, immediately below the bridge, was carried away by the flood, together with a quantity of cloth and dyeing utensils, of which a valuable copper boiler has been since found in the sea. In a field above the bridge stood a Hay Rick, which was carried by the flood through the field, out at the gate, and lodged in safety at the side of the turnpike road. A temporary bridge has since been erected; before it was finished the coaches were of necessity dragged through the river by men". 25th October 1823 |
