More about this scene

Here we see the 13th-century Buddle Bridge (centre) and the buildings of Bridge Street which crossed it until demolitions for road widening in 1913. Bridge Street was known as Beaufront Street until the Middle Ages, and the land still sloped down to the sea until these sea walls were built after the Civil War. The word Buddle, the ancient dialect name for the estuary of the River Lim, described its previous state as an outlet choked by shingle.

My name is Tina Taylor, I have worked in Rainbow for 22 years and wanted to know what the shop was called or the family who live there. I would be so grateful for any help as we have a cellar that dates back to the 14th century, thank you. My email adress is; tina.taylor1961@sky.com
