I wrote about the bridge here:<br /><br />http://colingriffiths.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/medieval-pack-horse-bridge-aylestone.html<br /><br />Also, there's an interesting quote from Throsby here:<br /><br />http://colingriffiths.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/pretoria-road-ellistown-and-ibstock.html<br /><br />- the higglers used to cross this bridge after coming down the Braunstone Lane from Kirby Muxloe. Also, it was known as a place where Edwardian courting couples would walk to on summer evenings before returning to Aylestone tram terminus.<br /><br />I hadn't appreciated you had a Leics project and I've enjoyed looking back at your posts tagged as such, especially the sketches of hedgrows and things that most folk bever notice. A big part of my own visual journey has been to learn to "look" AND to "see" the beauty that is on my doorstep. We don't have to travel to notable national parks to see wonderful things. <br /><br /><br />Rich Gift Of Linshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868005278180471114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-87208559902511722652013-03-12T22:58:53.270+00:002013-03-12T22:58:53.270+00:00Thanks. :).
