FOBD1NGBRIDGE TO BEAMSHAW. 



ROM the 

 bridge of 

 many a town 

 one may often get 

 a pretty peep of 

 scenery. Stand- 

 ing on the one 

 at Fordingbridge, 

 the church tower 

 shows itself over a 

 fore ground o f 

 orchards and fruit 



gardens. Under its five arches the Avon flows 

 noisily gurgling, eddying and splashing, in its 

 hurry to get southwards. In the broad part of 

 the river to the south stands a small island, and 



THE AVON AT FOBDINGBRIDGE.
