More about this scene
This important mid 15th-century bridge at the lowest crossing point of the River Fowey links the two parts of Lostwithiel. This is also the highest tidal point up to which shipping once came; but as this view shows, the quays and channel became silted by material washed down the river. The cart may well be there to collect sand.
