Stepcote Hill and Bridge, Exeter, Devon: A Journey Back in Time This evocative photograph captures the historic charm of Stepcote Hill and Bridge in Exeter, Devon, England. The image transports us back in time to the medieval era, as we observe the cobbled pack-horse road leading up the steep hill, dotted with ancient steps. The old bridge, with its arched design and worn-down stones, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where life moved at a slower pace, and commerce was carried out on the backs of horses. The buildings on either side of the road, with their timber-framed structures and moss-covered walls, exude a sense of character and history. The 1940s photograph, captured by an unnamed photographer, provides a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the architectural and historical significance of this ancient route. Stepcote Hill and Bridge have been a vital part of Exeter's history for centuries. The pack-horse road was used to transport goods from the surrounding countryside to the bustling markets of the city. The bridge, believed to date back to the 13th century, has stood the test of time, providing a vital crossing point over the River Exe. Today, Stepcote Hill and Bridge remain popular tourist attractions, drawing visitors from around the world who are drawn to the area's rich history and architectural beauty. The scene in this photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
