Moulton Bridge The ancient bridge over the River Kennett. Today the flow is so small that it's all going through a culvert under the roadway, but judging by the four big arches and the gauge board, things can sometimes be a bit more serious.
Although none of the other pictures on here show any water over the ford either.

River full of weeds The smaller of Moulton's old stone bridges over the River Kennett. A two stage channel with the small low flow stream over on the far side but room for higher flows to use the whole width if needed.
As usually happens, the dry section quickly fills with weeds.
