hearsay
refce: JandMN
The evidence from Leland for the location of the house of the Dominican Friars, ie the Black Friars, confuses the identification of Black Bridge - though the naming might have little relevance to the friars. Leland says Black Bridge is between St Elizabeth's College and the east bridge which might put it north of the present Black Bridge. Leland says it is a wooden bridge.
