The Town Bridge
Bradford-on-Avon ~ A bridge was mentioned in the time of Edward II (1307-27), so it was perhaps built early in the 14th century to replace the broad ford that gives the town its name, although perhaps not in the same place and was recorded in 1400. Two arches of that bridge remain, but most of it today dates from an 18th century rebuild and doubling in width.
The small building on one of the cut-waters is a 17th century lock-up for holding prisoners until they could be brought before a magistrate. It has been claimed to be a chapel and there might well have been one there before the lock-up replaced it. On top is a fish-shaped weather vane: the Bradford Gudgeon; prisoners were said to be “below the fish and over the water”.
The Weaving Shed ~ Part of the redevelopment of the mills.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Adele clubThank you for your very kind comments.
The first PiP is beautifully composed. The light falling on the bridge is quite sublime. The reeds provide ideal foreground interest. I love the contrast between the natural and the human influence on the landscape.
The architecture in the second PiP is in stark contrast to that depicted in the other two images.
Three lovely images, Rosa.
Cheers,
Joe
