Old Trent Bridge, Nottingham: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph, taken by Richard Allen and Son between 1875 and 1877, offers a captivating glimpse into the history of Old Trent Bridge in Nottingham. The image depicts a group of men wading through the riverbed, their figures dwarfed by the imposing medieval bridge arching above them. The River Trent, once a mighty and vital waterway, appears nearly dried up, its shallow waters exposing the pebbled riverbed. Old Trent Bridge, a fine example of medieval engineering, has stood proudly over the River Trent since the late 13th century. Its construction marked a significant milestone in Nottingham's history, enabling the growth of the town and facilitating the transportation of goods and people. The bridge's sturdy arches have withstood the test of time, bearing witness to the passage of centuries. The photograph, taken during a period of drought, offers a unique perspective of the bridge and the river. The men in the image are likely working to maintain the bridge or to transport goods across the river during the low water levels. Their presence adds a sense of scale to the image, highlighting the bridge's grandeur and the vastness of the river when in full flow. This photograph, taken from the book 'Nottingham, Past and Present' by Frederick S. Williams, is a poignant reminder of the past, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. It invites us to reflect on the history of Old Trent Bridge and the role it played in the lives of the people of Nottingham, as well as the ever-changing relationship between the town and the River Trent.
