Leigh Bridge

Click a thumbnail for enlarged view. Two of a series of Harberton photographs taken by Elijah Yeoman; could date from around 1880.

y_lbc_199746665.jpg (58090 bytes) Leigh Bridge over the Harbourne River, on the Diptford road out of Harberton. This picture predates the present pair of houses "Lauraleigh" and "Leighbridge Cottage" (built 1893) just past the bridge and shows an old thatched cottage beside the river.
y_lb2_199746664.jpg (58939 bytes) Elijah Yeoman married Honor Varder from Harberton in the village in 1880 so there is a strong chance that the two men and one boy(?) appearing in both these pictures were members of the Varder family.
