Low Tide and Flowers, + Pip

Low Tide and Flowers, + Pip
In Bridgwater the River Parrett has a tidal range from less than 1m to almost 7m, in this image looking from West Quay across to East Quay which also housed dry docks for shipbuilding, both sides of the river used to unload ships from far flung parts of the world some for transhipment into barges for travel to towns up river, Please see PIP (An old postcard taken fron the other side of the bridge)
The river was so busy it is said you could cross the river by walking on the moored ships, silting has however narrowed the river since those days,

HFF and a good weekend, Large may be better.

A very tranquil looking scene Roger.............I like the flower display in the foreground and the row of houses by the riverside and the interesting looking bridge.

I especially like the idea of the combined café and bookshop............I could probably spend all day in a place like that :-) The old postcard in the PiP is absolutely fascinating - I wonder what the same view looks like nowadays (hint, hint)?

Definitely best viewed large..............

Enjoy the rest of your day..........and have a splendid weekend.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Many thanks Keith, the bridge which is listed by Historic England is from 1883 but the masonry abutments and other bits from the bridge it replaced were retained,
We stayed in Dumfriese and Galloway a few years back and cafe/bookshops were very much the thing up there,
I have images of the bridge from the same side as the post card but darned if I can find them but I will post that view next week even if I have go and grab another shot!
