During the building work a temporary bridge was put in place between the old bridge (which was on the right) and what was Martins Warehouse (which later became the Bridge Mill apartment building) out of shot to the left. The building on the right was Parker’s Mill opposite the Riverside Hotel. The houses of Ship Gardens would later be built on the land behind the bus. In this view an Eastern Counties Omnibus Company double decker bus was crossing the temporary bridge heading to Bury St. Edmunds.
