The Understudy

The Understudy
This was my alternative pick for SC49. In the end I chose the recent image and was glad I had when I saw Jenny's clapper bridge post to the group.

This, from my archives, is the clapperboard bridge over the East Dart River at Postbridge, Dartmoor National Park.

A fantastic looking bridge, which I assume is built without mortar, and it seems to have stood the test of time very well. I also like the other bridge in the background. The the trees in the background and the rocks and vegetation in the foreground complete the scene nicely. Well composed and taken Maggie.

I believe clappers are indeed without mortar and whilst I allowed LWD on to it, still attached to her lead in case I had to drag her out, I was too cowardly to venture across myself. The bridge behind is in use as its part of a major route across the moor.

Glad you like it Keith.

And we think that us modern folk are so clever ... mind you there are plenty of these granite boulders scattered around!

Many thanks José. I agree with you it's an incredible piece of engineering especially when you think of how short a time modern structures last.
Stay well my friend!

It is a beautiful old bridge Maggs. It has been a while since we have been there and it was quite busy then, - too many people for a decent photograph, but this is a terrific capture.

I have a niece who lives close by with her family. It must be a lovely area to live with a young family
