Tavistock: River Tavy and Abbey Bridge
Quoting from the Devon County Council's plaque on Abbey Bridge:-
"A mediaeval bridge here served Tavistock Abbey.
It was replaced in 1763 to accommodate the new
turnpike road system. This bridge was widened in 1860
to carry increased traffic following the opening
of the Great Western Railway station nearby."
Today it carries the A386 road to and from Okehampton into the town centre.
On the left is the intake from the River Tavy that feeds the Tavistock Canal which has served Morwellham hydro power station since 1934. In 2008 a new automatic screening mechanism was installed (the green and grey shovel-like structure) that will prevent salmon smolts from entering the canal and becoming trapped, instead allowing them to swim down the Tavy to the sea.
