As we gaze into the distance, our eyes are drawn towards an impressive structure that dominates the landscape - none other than the iconic 15th-century bridge across River Camel.

The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot remains unknown; nevertheless, their lens has preserved a moment frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a window into Wadebridge's past - transporting us to an era where commerce thrived on riverbanks and wooden vessels sailed these waters.
