This beautiful scene at Bowles Bridge was captured on Thursday, 8th February 2007 when the Brent River Park was covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow. Local children, given the day off school, revelled on the small slopes of the golf course with makeshift toboggans and snowmen and snowballs abounded.Bowles Bridge (or Boles or Bulls) is believed to be named after John Bowles, the owner of Dormers Wells Manor in the reign of Elizabeth 1. It is thought that this crossing may have been used by the Romans and indeed, a Roman inscribed stone was found in the garden of "The Hermitage" nearby. The spire of St. Mary's Church (built in 1841) is just visible in the background.Saturday, February 17, 2007
