I spent some time today working with Photoshop Elements and enjoyed 'popping colour', I hope you like the effect. This post box is just down the road from where I live and is very much a part of my world.
Another view of Bradford-on-Avon
My friend and I have decided we are going to visit a different town each month. August we went to Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire.The earliest evidence of habitation is fragments of Roman settlements above the town. In particular, archaeological digs have revealed the remains of a large Roman villa with a well-preserved mosaic on the playing fields of St Laurence School. The centre of the town grew up around the ford across the river Avon, hence the origin of the town's name ("Broad-Ford"). This was supplemented in Norman times by the stone bridge that still stands today. The Norman side is upstream, and has pointed arches; the newer side has curved arches. The Town Bridge and Chapel is a grade I listed building. It was originally a Packhorse bridge, but widened in 17th century by rebuilding the western side.
On the bridge stands a small building which was originally a chapel but later used as a town lockup. The weather vane on top takes the form of a gudgeon (an early Christian symbol), hence the local saying "under the fish and over the water" also known as "under the fish but over the water".
The river provided the power for the wool mills that gave the town its wealth. The town has seventeenth century buildings dating from the most successful period of the local textile industry.

This is the Tithe Barn at Bradford-on-Avon. The Tithe Barn was built in the early 14th century as part of the medieval farmstead belonging to Shaftesbury Abbey. Its function was to store the produce of the farm, and of the farms of the manor. Tenant farms contributed a tithe, meaning a tenth of their produce. King Ethelred gave the Manor of Bradford, including the monastery founded by St Aldhelm, to the Abbess of Shaftesbury in 1001. The barn is now owned and maintained by English Heritage.
