Anstey, Pack Horse Bridge c.1960

More about this scene
On the south-east side of the village the five-arch stone bridge, perhaps of the 16th century, steps quietly across the very reedy Rotherby Brook. The view looks south-east towards the newly aligned A46 trunk road, with all its speed and noise. This was the original roadway into the village, now reduced in stature to a footpath, as the road now crosses the water to its north. This is a rather romantic monument to the past.
