Tay Road Bridge Temporary Bridge and East Newport
This photograph provides an excellent view of the temporary road bridge, but it is equally as interesting to see this end of the village in such detail. Many of the houses have changed considerably in 40 years, with alterations and extensions. The Riverview Lodge (previously Seymour) area has been completely redeveloped, and in the lower left of the photograph are the prefabs, built to help solve the post-war housing shortage, and much loved first homes for many couples. The prefabs were cleared in 1968.
