The Town bridge at Bradford on Avon

The Town bridge at Bradford on Avon

The river Avon bridge at Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. The bridge is at the centre of Bradford on Avon, the focus of all the roads. It is the icon of the town and has been chosen to figure in the logo of local organisations, including that of Bradford on Avon Museum. A bridge was mentioned in the time of Edward II (1307-27), so it was perhaps built early in the 14th century to replace the broad ford that gives the town its name, although perhaps not in the same place and was recorded in 1400. Two arches of that bridge remain, but most of it today dates from an 18th century rebuild and doubling in width. The small building on one of the cut-waters is a 17th century lock-up for holding prisoners until they could be brought before a magistrate. It has been claimed to be a chapel and there might well have been one there before the lock-up replaced it. On top is a fish-shaped weather vane: the Bradford Gudgeon; prisoners were said to be “below the fish and over the water”.

Designed to cover a large amount of wall space, canvas prints are ideal for big rooms. We only use 100% cotton canvas with a thickness of 340GSM, not cheap synthetic fibre alternatives. All dimensions for canvas products are in inches. Our normal finish is to 'wrap' the edges - please e-mail us at time of order if you require mirrored, black or white edges.


We print with a 12 colour process, this means we can print a much larger colour range than most printing companies that normally use a 4 or 8 colour process. All sizes for our gloss paper prints are in inches. Please note prints are supplied without mounts or frames.
