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.

I wasn't aware I had taken my 11+, until I was told I had failed! My befusion started early. Out of my class, three guys and two girls moved on to a grammar school. Apologies for mentioning the 'g' word which is now frowned upon in many circles.

Do NOT apologise. I never did understand what people complained about decent schools and education !! Mine was a Grammar school by a slightly different name. I hated school per se.. but I had a good schooling.. did ok.. and had some teachers who were the best of the best in that they made a REAL difference. My school wasnt "exclusive" but you were expected to work hard... and I see nothing at all wrong with that. I also have zero prob with "Comprehensives" . Its about teaching and learning.. the rest is just a name. My Mum was a teacher as well.. and one who worked in a school in one of the poorest areas of London. She was a teacher who "made a difference" to many.

A lovely little bridge, but the cedar takes first place.-) A very well composed photo! I never heard of that park, but I see that Wisley isn't far- that's one I know;-)
