The Chinese Bridge (+PiP)

The Chinese Bridge (+PiP)
In Staunton Country Park, Havant, Hampshire there is a small island in the lake, on which used to be a Chinese style summer house built in 1833, and this bridge was built at the same time. The summer house was demolished in 1865 but the bridge remains. The stonework is original but the woodwork has been replaced (in the same style) over the years.

The PiP shows another perspective on the bridge,.

Better viewed large..........thanks for looking.

Thanks very much Frank..........glad you like the bridge........and I agree it's a bit of shame that the water lilies weren't in flower, but there's nothing I could have done about that :-))

A fine bridge Keith and both views are good to me. It looks very peaceful and I suspect there are carp in here too. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers. Herb

Glad you like these two shots Herb...........it's peaceful as long as you avoid weekends and school holidays etc.......which as a retiree I can now do of course. There has to be some perks to being old :-))

You're right about the carp, there was a chap on the island fishing and he told me he had caught and released a couple of them, that morning.
