Anyone know the history of Clifton Bridge,  near Sutton St James in Lincolnshire. When was it built and why was it so named.

Clifton's Bridge is marked on the 1890 map of the area www.old-maps,co.uk

There were 21 CLIFTONs at Sutton St James in the 1881 census
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.
