EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, specifically c1920, capturing a serene and picturesque scene along the River Avon. The view stretches towards the charming village of Batheaston, offering a glimpse into its timeless beauty. The focal point of this enchanting image is undoubtedly the elegant toll bridge that gracefully spans across the river. Erected in 1872, it stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity and serves as an essential link between Batheaston and Bathampton villages. Its sturdy structure tells tales of countless travelers who have crossed its path over generations. Nestled alongside this idyllic setting is an exquisite white building known as the Old Mill Cafe and Guest House, which has since transformed into what we now know as the Old Mill Hotel. This historic establishment exudes character and charm while providing respite for weary souls seeking solace amidst nature's embrace. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness life unfolding at a gentler pace. The tranquil waters of River Avon mirror their surroundings flawlessly, reflecting not only nature's splendor but also our own longing for simplicity and serenity. This print encapsulates more than just scenic beauty; it captures fragments of history frozen in time—a reminder that even amidst progress and change, some treasures remain eternal.
