  Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
I have been considering making some sort of bridge as my next project. My problem is I don't really know how to go about creating a Medieval Bridge. So here are a few questions that if you could help me it would be much appreciated. 1. What should a (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
(...) How big is your city? Is the bridge the only way in? If so, then it needs to be big and pretty permanant (stone). If it's just a minor way, a backway for example, the bridge doesn't need to be huge and should be probably made of stone and (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
(...) Stone or wood both work. (...) Stone would most likely be open. Without linear structural supports (beams) it would need to have a fair number of arches and footings depending on its length. Wooden could be covered or not. Stamford Bridge was (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

  A mill?
 
Following Eric's suit, I'm thinking of building a mill for the town... Actually, I'm just planning on building another larger building. My problem with building houses is that after building 7 houses (5 in white w/ black trim), I've nearly RUN OUT (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
(...) That's the one medieval bridge that I have actually seen in person (it is, rather obscenely, in Lake Havasu, Arizona). Quite wide, lots of arches. Bruce (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: A mill?
 
I was thinking about this too ... it's ripe for some beautiful creativity. Two types of mills I can think of: 1) Wind-Powered Mill 2) Water-Powered Mill The first can be your standard Don-Quixote type, shaped more or less like a lighthouse with the (...)

  Re: A mill?
 
Speaking of mills. I have discovered another use for those brown wing pieces in the Star Wars Droid Fighter Sets. Windmill blades. The cool thing is that on a good, freely spinning hub/axle they actually work. When you blow on them the blades spin. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
(...) The LB in Lake Havasau, AZ was actually built in the 1700s, a bit late for medieval era. The medieval London Bridge was made of wood, which personally boggles me as the Thames is a nice wide river. The stone bridge was built after the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
(...) The correct answer is yes. :) More seriously, it depends on the function, as I'm sure you've gathered from the other posts on this thread. There is no "typical" bridge I can point to, but I can offer some suggestions. A stone bridge will be (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

  Re: Going about building a Medieval Bridge...
 
(...) I thought you were refering to the stone one since the wooden ones are long gone (?). You are correct, the actual stone one was a later-than-medieval replacement. Oops. Bruce (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
