Prior's Bridge, Launceston
These mallards are happy that the Kensey is high and there is more river to swim in. Compare the level with Image, where the white mark on the central support is a couple of feet above the water. http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=370137 (but see Image)

Prior's Bridge, Launceston
The level of the water is more clearly shown without sunshine - compare Image, taken nearly an hour and a half later. The height in relation to the right-hand arches can be compared with Image
There seems to be confusion about the name of the bridge. The most detailed OS map has "St Thomas Bridge", and the listed building description states "West Bridge RIVERSIDE. Also known as: St Thomas Bridge" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=370137 . But this would surely confuse with http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=370111&mode=adv , where the nearby road bridge is also called "St Thomas's Bridge". http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk/csus/towns/launceston/csus_launceston_report_2005R051.pdf gives "Prior's Bridge".

LSWR North Cornwall railway
Once the Railway Station on the Okehampton to Padstow Line along with the GWR railway that terminated from Plymouth via Lydford. Now it's the Launceston Steam Railway's yard with a narrow gauge railway where once full size trains ran.
