More about this scene
The town grew up at the gates of the abbey on a low island amid the surrounding marshes, receiving its charter in 1142. Apart from the Abbey, the town is famous for the 14th-century triangular bridge, seen here from West Street. The streets now no longer have streams flowing down them, so the bridge is a redundant curiosity in a town with many good things architecturally.

Bridges
Classic photographs of all sorts of bridges from The Francis Frith Collection, spanning modest streams, rivers and broad estuaries. They include footbridges, clapper bridges, pack-horse bridges, medieval arched bridges, toll bridges, decorative Palladian bridges, suspension bridges, bascule bridges, canal bridges, and railway bridges. Evocative and atmospheric, these stunning images show British engineering at its most innovative and graceful.
