Brandywine Bridge

The Brandywine Bridge, originally known as the "Bridge of Stonebows", was a bridge on the Great East Road crossing the Brandywine River. 
The only other crossings of the Brandywine within the Shire were at Bucklebury Ferry and at Sarn Ford. 
== History ==
The bridge was built some time before TA 1601 either by the Dúnedain of Arnor or the Dwarves. King Argeleb II allowed the Hobbits migrating from the Vales of Anduin to settle in the Shire, as long as they kept the bridge in good repair and sped his messengers on their way.The Lord of the Rings, "Prologue", "Concerning Hobbits"
On their journey to Bree in TA 3018, Frodo, Sam and Pippin did not take the bridge, for the Black Riders were thought to be looking on the Great East Road for Frodo and the One Ring. The Hobbits did, however, attempt to use the bridge on their return journey the following year, but found it barricaded with spiked gates.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Six, Ch. VIII: "The Scouring of the Shire"
In the year FO 15, King Aragorn II Elessar rode to the bridge to once again to see his friends, though he did not cross into the Shire itself.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, "Later Events Concerning the Members of the Fellowship of the Ring"
