Rothern Bridge

A last trio from Devon, before I move on to other things.  Rothern Bridge lies just outside my home town of Torrington.  A Grade 2 listed structure, it dates from the 14th century and was the original River Torridge crossing for the road from Bideford and Winkleigh.  Long since replaced by the Rolle Bridge next to it, it's now a very quiet spot on the river.  As a child I spent many hours fishing there with my cousin, never catching anything.
