EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, capturing a serene view of the River Wye at Kerne Bridge in Herefordshire. The image, originally used for Great Western Railway (GWR) publicity purposes, showcases the picturesque beauty of this historic location. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent Kerne Bridge itself. Built in 1828 and now classified as Grade II listed, it stands proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and flowing waters. Its elegant arches serve as a testament to both architectural ingenuity and timeless charm. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we discover that there was once a single-track railway bridge nearby which connected Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth. Although no longer present today due to its closure in the 1960s, its existence adds an intriguing layer to this already enchanting scene. The River Wye gracefully winds its way through the landscape, reflecting sunlight like shimmering diamonds on its surface. It invites us to imagine peaceful boat rides or leisurely strolls along its banks while immersing ourselves in nature's tranquility. This evocative print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our connection with heritage and natural wonders. It transports us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and encourages us to appreciate both man-made marvels like Kerne Bridge and Mother Nature's gifts such as the majestic River Wye.
