Looe Bridge
- ... that the medieval Looe Bridge had either 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, or 18 arches? Source: Each number of arches has individual footnote in article §Medieval bridge (1411–1853)

Hi MIDI, review follows: article moved to mainspace today; article is well written and exceeds minimum length; sources used are reliable; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from a sample of the online sources; hook is interesting (I wonder it it was repaired at various time changing the number of arches), mentioned in the article and checks out to hook cited; shame there doesn't appear to be a drawing of the medieval bridge online anywhere. Just awaiting a QPQ. One minor comment: you give the construction as being of "Slatestone rubble, granite" in the infobox but this is not cited or mentioned in the main body - Dumelow (talk) 13:57, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Dumelow: – all valid points! Certainly a shame about the image especially when it sounds like sketches were made by notable people. I do like to include images with my DYK noms, but given that the most interesting DYK material in this article is about the old bridge, it would be a photo for a photo's sake this time. I've sorted the inclusion/referencing of the materials
, so just a QPQ to do now I hope. MIDI (talk) 20:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
