Bude. The New Swing Bridge over the Canal, and the Falcon Hotel
Grid Ref: SS 2070 0615 [BUh-001-450]. A tinted sepia postcard looking north from circa 1910 showing the iron swing bridge closed across the canal, adjacent to the Falcon Hotel, outside of which are two horses with carts. The bridge is known as either Falcon or Crescent Bridge and has since been replaced with a fixed one with insufficient clearance for boat traffic.
