Artist's Description
The 'legendary' Postbridge Clapper is ikely to be one of the top tourist stops on Dartmoor in the county of Devon, England. The term 'clapper bridge' is a term used on Dartmoor for a bridge which has one or more flat slabs of stones which rest on stone piers and thus spans a river or stream. It is possible that the bridge dates back as early as the 1300's. The actual bridge consists two central posts (piers) upon which is laid a single slab of granite from each bank and two smaller slabs in the middle. The four slabs of granite span a length of 42ft 6" (12.95m) and at the widest point measure 9ft (2.7m) It has been estimated that the two side slabs weigh anything between 6.5 and 8 tons each with the two central sections coming in at around 2 tons apiece.
About Shirley Mitchell
Every photograph is a unique moment in time, never to be repeated. I live in the beautiful county of Surrey in England where the scenery, the lighting and the change of seasons can only be described as inspirational. What started as a hobby many years ago has developed into an obsession leading me to take photographic courses and trying to improve my skills. Being out and about with my camera is perhaps one of my greatest joys. My interests are varied but I get the biggest buzz from flowers, landscapes and architecture. I sincerely hope that I am able to share my enthusiasm by sharing my images.
