Lower Bridge, Boscastle
Boscastle is seen here on a fine day in the summer of 2001, three years before the disastrous flood that severely damaged the village including the lower bridge over the River Valency. The bridge was repaired but later replaced with a new bridge of a completely different design.

After the flood at Boscastle
Compare this image with Image] to see that the reconstruction is a brave attempt but a long way from capturing the quaint dilapidation of the original. In fairness you can't look at this as a mere repair of the Pisky House/Harbour Lights. The pigsty origin of the previous building meant it was ill-equipped to withstand the flood and it didn't just deteriorate - it disintegrated completely. What stands there today is a ground-up attempt at a facsimile, although it does incorporate the original stone lintels.

The bridge was severely damaged and, although temporarily repaired, was demolished in 2008 and replaced by a wider more modern structure positioned some 3metres downstream.
The building on the left is Boscastle YHA. Hidden from view by the YHA building was Image, which was completely destroyed by the same flood event.
