HARES BRIDGE is where the old main Colchester Road, Stane Street, crosses Robin's Brook.
It was called Hares Breg in 1525, Heres Brydge in 1567 and Hares Bridge from 1698 up to 1890 when Beaumont used it in his book, History of Coggeshall. However, when the Ordnance Survey mapped the town for the first edition map of 1875, they decided to drop the 's' and call it Hare Bridge and so it has remained on the maps ever since.
Ignore the maps - it's Hares Bridge!
Date: c 1905
