Impromptu meetup at Canalside Café
Meet at the Canalside Café, Great Haywood at 11am. I'm planning on sketching the Essex bridge which is not far away, about half a mile down the canal.
More info about the bridge below.
Then lunch at the café for anyone who is interested in food or who likes food - or even if you don't, come along!
Essex Bridge is a Grade I listed packhorse bridge over the River Trent near Great Haywood, Staffordshire.
Crossing the River Trent one hundred yards downstream of the junction with the River Sow, it was built in 1550 by the then Earl of Essex for Queen Elizabeth I so that when she visited the estate she could go hunting in the woodland nearby. It is close to Shugborough Hall. It is now the longest remaining packhorse bridge in England with 14 of its original 40 span arches left.
