Upton Bridge
A peaceful rural scene from Bexley in 1904, this charming image captures Upton Bridge, a modest wooden footbridge nestled beneath tall trees and surrounded by quiet country lanes. A woman in Edwardian dress and a young girl pause on the path, perhaps sharing a moment or preparing to cross over the narrow stream that once marked the edge of a now-vanished world.
In the distance, a wooden gate marks the boundary of open fields, with a lone figure standing guard as nature and daily life intertwined. This was a time when Bexley was still a village on the edge of London, long before the expansion of suburbs and motorways.
Moments like these, frozen in sepia tones, remind us of a simpler life — of horses, gas lamps, and childhood walks through the countryside.
