Battle of Great Bridge Historical Marker

Four stars for history where the British lost. Yay! This marker denotes a battle that occurred here where the «Revolutionaries» won. There are markers on the north and south side of the bridge, but nowhere to really stop and read them. I left my car in the drug store parking lot to read the following:
In this vicinity, in 1775, was the southern end of a causeway, with bridges, by which the swamp and stream were crossed. Here William Woodford’s Virginia riflemen defended the passage. When Lord Dunmore’s British regulars attempted to cross the swamp, on December 9, 1775, they were cut to pieces by the fire of the riflemen. This defeat forced Dunmore to evacuate Norfolk.
