Fore Street heads east from the Market Place to cross the River Parrett on the iron bridge dated 1883; this replaced an early Coalbrookdale cast-iron bridge of 1795.

Most of the traffic was coal, which was loaded in the harbour beyond the bridge and taken to the linen mills along the river, but there was also a steady flow of sand downstream to this wharf.

This is downstream beyond the 1813 Ouse bridge to the Embankment area, with a view of the parks and gardens mostly laid out during Joshua Hawkins's mayoralty in the 1880s.

From the 16th-century tower of St Andrew's Church, established by monks from Bridlington some 900 years ago, we see the bridge over the Swale and the white Bridge Inn (centre). 17th-century cottages stretch

The view looking towards the bridge to Ray Mill Island (or, as some people call it, Boulters Lock Island) is the same that Edward Gregory painted in his famous 'Boulters Lock, Sunday Afternoon' (1882

The Checker and its associated ranges probably survived because they were close to the mill stream and the industrial heart of the medieval town with its watermill, and thus they soon found alternative

One of the most frequently-painted sites on the Broads was the old Acle Bridge with its three arches, which we see here. The bridge has frequently been rebuilt - repairs were first recorded in 1101.
