More about this scene

This is not, in fact a Roman bridge at all, but was probably built in the 18th century. This fact could be slightly awkward for Roman Court and Roman Bridge Lane, two newly-built housing developments nearby. The bridge is now the subject of controversy: it is scheduled for relocation to make way for a leisure centre.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember working at the Llwynderw Annexe in Blackpill as a Pre Nurse in 1970 it was a very dark and cold place. I had to sleep upstairs which was really spooky it felt very uncomfortable. I remember Sister Parry and there was another Sister in charge I can't remember her name it might have been Jenkins. They were not very nice to work with. Back then my name was Tina Dodd.
