The New Exe Bridge, Exeter, Devon, England (1905): A Timeless Symbol of Progress and Resilience This photograph, taken in 1905, showcases the New Exe Bridge in Exeter, Devon, England, standing proudly over the River Exe. The bridge, a marvel of engineering and design, was built to replace the old bridge that was destroyed by a flood in 1601. The New Exe Bridge, also known as the Northernhay Bridge, was designed by Thomas D'Arcy Feilden and constructed between 1899 and 1901. This photograph, taken five years after its completion, beautifully captures the bridge's elegant design and the tranquility of the river. The bridge's distinctive features include its wrought-iron lattice structure, ornate railings, and the two towers at either end, which house the clock and the weir gates. The bridge's design was influenced by the Victorian Gothic Revival style, which was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, revealing the bustling activity on the bridge and the surrounding area. Horse-drawn carts and carriages can be seen crossing the bridge, while people go about their daily business on the streets of Exeter. Despite the passage of time, the New Exe Bridge remains a cherished symbol of Exeter's rich history and resilience. It continues to serve as a vital transportation link, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city, and attracting visitors from around the world who marvel at its beauty and engineering prowess.
