Date[edit]

A London Assembly standard letter re access to the River Thames - PDF (view as HTML) states every such right [of access] must have been in existence since 1189. It does not explain why 1189 but that year may well be the year of purchase from Dick 1 which Spelthorne thinks was 1197. -- RHaworth 03:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Since 1189" means "Since time immemorial". MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 16:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Staines Bridge[edit]

Quote: It was also the next bridge upstream from London Bridge, a distance of 31 km as the crow flies.

I thought Kingston-upon-Thames bridge (built in the 12th century) was the next bridge upstream from London Bridge in medieval times. Can anyone confirm the Staines claim? John O'London (talk) 17:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
