More about this scene
This is Thomas Telford's iron bridge, crossing the River Severn at its junction with the River Avon. Constructed in 1826, and with a single arched span of a hundred and seventy six feet, it was considered an engineering marvel at the time of its completion. On the extreme left is the small tollhouse at the bridge's eastern approach.

She was known as Helen Holt and Helen McColm and she maried Norman Scriven or Scrivens, but I don't know if that was at this period of time. I'm trying to trace what happened to her, as there is know trace of her from 1962. Gratefuly yours, Clare

Probably due to the fact he used to be a coach driver many years before I was born in 1964.
