Starting Point for the Heritage Trail. The area now known as Bow has long been a scene of human activity. The first known local settlement was that of the Romans around the "Old Ford" on the River Lee. Medieval Bow grew up with the building of Bow Bridge in the reign of Henry I. The name "Bow" may be derived from the distinctive arched shape of this original bridge. Much of Bow's original character is a result of the great buidling activities of the Victorian era.
