Herdsmen and Cattle Crossing Lodge Bridge, North Wales ( Previous Title: Herdsmen & Cattle Crossing the Bridge of Allan)

Watercolour on paper. The bridge in this scene is thought to represent Lodge Bridge in North Wales, which carries the road from Cwm Pennant (Pennant Valley) across the Afon Dwyfor river, to the village of Golan. The bridge is still in use today and has been grade II listed since March 1999. It was probably built as part of the Brynkir estate. Brynkir, the large mansion on the estate, was originally a 16th-century house with a 17th-century wing. It was replaced by a new Brynkir, which was commenced in 1811 for Sir Joseph Huddart, the son of Joseph Huddart (1741–1816), influential English Captain, hydrographer and manufacturer.
