River Loddon at Sheepbridge. Sheepbridge used to have a mill on the River Loddon and this is the bypass channel that took excess water away from upstream of it. It is viewed here looking downstream from Sheep Bridge. One of the quirky joys of the English language is illustrated here. This photograph was taken from Sheep Bridge in the hamlet of Sheepbridge, and these separate spellings have been used in every edition of the Ordnance Survey mapping from the edition of 1872 right up to the present day.
