Sospel, France: A Glance into the Past - The Old Bridge over Bevera River Step back in time with this view of the Old Bridge in Sospel, France, dating back to the 13th century. The black-and-white photograph, estimated to be from the 1910s, transports us to an era of history where time seemed to move slower, and architectural marvels like this one, stood the test of time. The Old Bridge, also known as the Toll Bridge, is a significant landmark in Sospel, a picturesque town nestled in the heart of the French Riviera. This ancient structure, built over the Bevera River, was a vital crossing point for travellers and merchants, making their way through the Alpine passes. The bridge's sturdy arches, adorned with intricate stonework, have weathered the elements for over 700 years, standing as a testament to the engineering prowess of the medieval architects. The towers on either end of the bridge, with their conical roofs, add an air of grandeur and protection. As you gaze at this photograph, imagine the hustle and bustle of the marketplace below, where vendors sold their wares, and the clatter of hooves and wheels on the cobblestone streets. The Old Bridge in Sospel is not just a historical monument, but a living piece of history that continues to captivate and inspire. This evocative image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers us a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the rich history that lies hidden in the corners of our world.
