This led to the Smithford over the Sherbourne by 1175. In 1410-11 the road stretched to Smithford Bridge, which probably replaced the ford in the thirteenth century; there were buildings on this bridge when it was repaired in 1469; still called Smithford Bridge in 1610, it was also known as Fleet Street Bridge in 1630, and as Fleet Bridge in 1636-37; on maps of 1748/49 and 1807 it was called Ram Bridge (probably after the "Ram House" inn, there in 1573 [see BA/H/C/17/1] and 1650); the river itself was there called Ram Brook in 1700. Both street and bridge disappeared when Coventry was rebuilt in the 1960s.
