The Bridge Hotel, Stanford Bridge

The building on the left is The Bridge Hotel, which these days is more a pub with restaurant than an hotel. Indeed, on their website, there is no mention of accommodation, so maybe this is no longer offered. The building is early 19th century, with a late 19th century brick and half-timbered facade. The large and much altered building on the right was, in the past, a village store and post office. Prior to that, it seems to have been the 19th century mill belonging to Mill Farm.
