A44 crosses the River Teme at Knightwick

Although the OS map calls it Knightsford Bridge, all locals I've come across call it Knightwick Bridge.

The emporium to the right sells antique and reclaimed artifacts. The cafe is worth a stop too.

Festivities outside The Talbot

Sunday lunchtime at The Talbot, with morris dancing, a farmers' market, a beer festival and Sunday roasts in the pub. All very English.

Whitbourne Hall, Whitbourne

Actually only a distant view of part of the imposing Greek Ionic portico, inspired by the Erechtheum in Athens. All the work of E.W. Elmslie, 1860-62, for Edward Bickerton Evans, banker, wine and vinegar brewer, and amateur archaeologist. The date is late for such a revival building. Grade II* listed. A closer view: SO7056 : Whitbourne Hall.

Teme footbridge, Knightwick

The footbridge replaces the previous A44 road bridge, demolished when the main road's course was realigned.

The Talbot from the old A44 bridge

When built, The Talbot stood at a road junction, with the main A44 performing a 90 degree turn having crossed the River Teme immdeiately behind the photographer. The pub now stands away from the realigned A44 on the twisting route up and over Ankerdine Hill.
