Built in sections clamped 
together with iron bolts, 
this single span wooden 
bridge, with the uprights 
of its balustrades radiat¬ 
ing with the curve of 
the bridge, is reminiscent 
of Japanese work 
BRIDGES 
i n the 
LANDSCAPE 
SCHEME 
A foot-bridge made by 
fixing between blocks on 
either bank two boards 
slightly longer than the 
distance between blocks, 
causing an upward bend; 
then laying on other 
boards and bolting them 
This wooden foot-bridge 
with its slightly curving 
span, built in three sec¬ 
tions and bolted together, 
gives access from a house 
in the town to its garden 
on the other side of the 
dividing stream 
The great Palladium 
bridge at Wilton House 
was built in the late 17th 
Century in the purest 
Renaissance classical mod¬ 
el. It represents the ulti¬ 
mate accompaniment to 
the country estate in the 
grand manner 
This drive to a country 
house is spanned bv a 
straight wooden foot¬ 
bridge of rustic design. It 
is supported on one side 
by a dry-built stone bas¬ 
tion whose masonry bulk 
is masked in santolina
