Road Bridge at Polzeath, St Minver, Cornwall. Late 1930s

The road bridge in the photograph, taken from the bank of the stream looking across the road to the top of the beach and over to Pentireglaze, was probably constructed in the late 1930s. Some probable evidence of its construction can be seen in the right centre ground of image TRURI:MIVph.10 where a workman's hut, cement mixer and temporary foot bridge are visible in the area of the stream where the bridge was constructed. Pentireglaze is now known as New Polzeath, probably to reflect the housing development that has taken place over this area in the de. Photographer: Unknown
