King John's Bridge, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, 1940-1948. A view of King John's Bridge, spanning The River Avon, looking south-east down Mythe Road and towards the High Street. The edge of the west bank of the river can be seen in the foreground with the bridge spanning right to left across the image. Rows of buildings can be seen along Mythe Road, including a timber-framed building with a jettied first floor on the corner of the south side of the road, which is most likely the Black Bear Inn. On the north side of the street is the end of a building with large posters pasted on the side, one for Guinness, one seemingly for Oxade. The bridge was built c. 1198, but has since been widened and partly rebuilt during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
