Ross-on-Wye

Here we see the upstream side of Wilton Bridge (from a real photograph postcard by an unknown publisher) with the Sundial seen on the north side and the bridge has not been widened by this time so the parapets can be seen along this side of the bridge which have since been removed during the changes to the bridge.

This view shows the north side of the bridge before it was widened. The sundial can be seen on one of the upstream parapets and next to it are two people watching the photographer. On the sides of the bridge, at the bottom of the parapet walls, large amounts of vegetation (preumably weeds) can be seen to be growing.

The Kings Head Inn and Gate House can clearly be seen to the right of the photo.

This is a postcard view of the "Wye from Wilton Bridge". The view of the Wye looking downstream through the first arch on the Ross side of the river. The zig-zag stones making up the arch can be clearly seen.

This R.E.Davies postcard shows the south side of Wilton Bridge with St. Mary's Church in the background. It is very noticeable how few trees can be seen growing on the bank.

This postcard shown the upstream side of Wilton Bridge from the West bank of the river. The sundial can be clearly seen as being on the north side of the bridge and being as the postcard makes reference to "Ross-on-Wye" then this dates the card to between 1931 and 1945.

This is the view south off Wilton Bridge in around 1911. The view has changed greatly since then, as the wall has been removed, although there are still regularly canoes moored at this point when a break at the White Lion is in order.

Here we see a pony and trap coming over Wilton Bridge before it was widened. This is taken from a postcard published by H.T. Marfell from Broad Street & 12 Market Place Ross-on-Wye. The sundial is on the top side of the bridge and there are several people and horses and carts heading for the bridge in the background from the direction of Hereford.
