Aylesford, The River Medway 1898

More about this scene
Aylesford is a perfectly sited village by the River Medway and the scene of many battles in ancient times. The medieval bridge stands on the site of a ford, once the only crossing between Rochester and Maidstone. The Carmelite friary, rededicated in 1949, is now a place of pilgrimage. Here, we see sailing barges beached on the far shore.

They include footbridges, clapper bridges, pack-horse bridges, medieval arched bridges, toll bridges, decorative Palladian bridges, suspension bridges, bascule bridges, canal bridges, and railway bridges. Evocative and atmospheric, these stunning images show British engineering at its most innovative and graceful.
