The Rope Swing at The Leighton Bridge

The Bridge c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember spending many a summer swimming at this spot. Then they seemed to be long hot summers but maybe that's the memory loss of an older man. I noticed that the rope was stiil hanging from the tree which was used to swing out into the river. This would have been in the mid 1950s and so much has changed. Still they can't take away the memories of childhood

My name is Richard Bennett from Buffalo, NY. My father was born in the Guilsfield area about 1900 to Samuel & sarah Bennett. I'm looking for relatives in that area as I plan to visit in September. Can you help me?
