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.

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

I am guilty of the same offence, Maurice. I'm sure you are right as the larger trees, bridges and follies were all put in position during the mid 1700s.
The three similar giant cedars in the park are reputed to be 270 years old!

Many thanks indeed, Keith. You have a real talent for stringing words together! ;-)
It's difficult not to admire 'that' tree. There are three giant Lebanon Cedars in the park and one is thought to be the largest Cedar of Lebanon in Europe....and it's not easy to photograph it from ground level.

I always find the wording of that confuddling ! It was a public public school... eg if you passed your 11+ (that dates me !!) you could go there. That said... it was then and still is now (I actually looking it up last night !) a highly regarded one.
