In 1447 a stone bridge was built linking Waterford and Tipperary, now known as the Old Bridge. This is one of the most handsome stone bridges in Ireland and it predates the voyage of Columbus to the New World. This was for centuries the first bridge above the estuary of the Suir and hence of strategic importance as a link between South Leinster and East Munster. The city of Waterford downstream had no bridge until 1790s.
