1954
England. Dunster, Somerset. Gallox Bridge across the River Avill. This
bridge is a scheduled national monument and is Listed Grade 1 as a building of
historic importance. The name Gallox is derived from the gallows that at one time
stood nearby and pack horses carrying wool used it for many centuries. The bridge
is thought to date from the 15th century. David Cole who is on the bridge has
been a colleague since schooldays when I took this picture and has made a career
in photography. Camera:
