This may interest Tolkien people. A c. 1900s lantern slide of the ford and bridge-end at Great Haywood. Photographed from the village side, as Tolkien would have known it perhaps 10 or so years later. The ramp goes up onto the bridge. The colorising is on the original.
Comparing it to more or less the same view as seen in a wider and winter form in British Isles, depicted by pen and camera (1904), and judging by comparing the growth of the small tree, the date here is perhaps summer 1904 or 1905. Most likely the latter, and possibly even 1906.
The “Score” label presumably means that, when viewing in a sequence, its appearance would have been accompanied by music.
