Description: | View from down stream of the old one arched bridge at Ivybridge in Devon. The village was a stopping off point for traffic on the Plymouth to Exeter Road. Pigot's 1830 Directory of Devonshire says of Ivybridge 'It derives its name from a small bridge, which is covered with ivy, and stretches across the river Erme. This village is beautifully situated in a romantic dell; and from its rattling river, wooded accompaniments and picturesque scenery, excites the admiration of every tourist of pleasure; but holds out no inducement to delay the commercial traveller. Upon the river is a paper-mill, and another for flour; and the village boasts an excellent inn, which, indeed, is necessary, from its great thoroughfare situation.' | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
