Sheepwash Bridge and the River Wye at Ashford in the Water (Scan from June 1989)

Sheepwash Bridge is a Grade II* Listed Building.

"The Sheepwash Bridge is a packhorse bridge with an attached stone sheepwash: lambs were placed in the pen on one side of the river and the ewes swam across the river to get to them, while being pushed underwater by the shepherds to clean the fleece before shearing. Large trout inhabit the waters of the Wye around the bridge. It is a Scheduled Monument as well as a listed building."
