The River Medway at Wateringbury

This photo was taken on the 7th July 1951, are you in the picture,

or do you know anyone who is?

The picture above is an earlier picture showing the previous wooden bridge.

Below are two postcards of the river but I am not sure when they were taken.

Below is a photo of the old wooden bridge taken around 1910

Now the new Bow Bridge. It looks as though it was taken at the same time as the shot at the top as the guy on the bridge looks the same.
