More about this scene

Here the River Avon flows under Goose Bridge. This steep old bridge was unfortunately modernised in the late 1960s, but the medieval cutwaters underneath still remain. Beyond the bridge is Back Hill Steps. Behind the cottages near the steps is a large three-storey house with gables. This is Culver House, which once housed the servants for the manor house and also a pigeon or dove cote - the pigeons were bred for the lord of the manor's table.

The photograph shows on the left where my gran lived, in the centre is where my granddad lived, and out of sight is the house where I was born. I fell in the river many times, once when it was at full flood an old man pulled me out with his walking stick.
