More about this scene

The bridge on which the boys are standing was relatively new when this photo was taken. It was built in 1890 to replace an earlier iron bridge which had been swept away in the Great Flood of August 1888. The town has always been particularly susceptible to flooding. A prevention scheme was introduced in the 1960s.

During the 1950s Reverend Gould would cycle down London Road to hold services here. Miss Flower and Janice Olley were two of the Sunday school teachers at the little school further up London Road past Friars WalK where a coke stove would warm the stone building.
This lovely building was located just over the river in London Road. Demolished, it was replaced by the present CO-OP, come Quadrant store.
