This public house is at the bottom of Woodbridge Hill. It would seem that long ago there was a wooden bridge across the nearby River Wey, and the road and much later the pub took their names from this. The picture appears to be what is called an "artist's representation". If there was a wooden bridge over the river, it would have had to be much higher, or moveable, to allow boats to pass under. The river here has been a navigation since 1653. Image Image
