A curiosity of Godmanchester is its Chinese Bridge -- pedestrian bridge crossing a mill stream: originally constructed in 1827; fallen into poor condition, has been replaced in more recent times by two successive replicas. It was supposedly originally built in the Chinese style, without the use of nails or similar Western contrivances. It would appear, though, that this is not true; but a tale inspired by the original nails having, as Wiki says, "corroded away, masking their presence". Cambridge has a counterpart to all this, in the shape of the Mathematical Bridge over the River Cam within Queens' College -- subject to essentially the same urban legend concerning its rumoured "no-nails" construction.
