There was a bridge gate the third arch (on the Welsh side). Although a grant of murage was given early in the town's development, there is little evidence that this was ever taken up. Bond put in his 'projected but never built or never finished' list. The river Dee was navigable as far as Holt and, in the middle ages, Holt was a large welsh borough, trading in agricultural produce and some coal.
