Woollett Bridge, Painshill Park

Woollett Bridge, Painshill Park
This footbridge on the south side of Painshill lake goes across to Grotto Island on the right.
It is not the original which was constructed in the 1840s. This is a reconstruction, built off site in 2012. It is a replica of one known from a 1760s engraving by William Woollett, the only remains of which were the brick abutments.

Painshill Park Trust maintains the park. It is a registered charity which was formed to restore the 18th century landscape and they have done an exemplary job.

It's another gold star Neil..............this is just wonderful. I especially like the tallest tree - it's a lovely shape (despite a couple of broken branches) and really "anchors" the image, together with the little bridge.

Thanks a lot, John. I sure got my money's worth taking my camera around this park.
Surprisingly few people there but probably because the sun was smooching with of heavy clouds for most of the day.

Cedars are my favourite tree...if they are trimmed like a giant bonsai.
So it was a public school that you went to?
