Trowers Bridge

The Trowers Bridge is over the River Trowers in England, on the section that connects the towns of Guildford and Godalming. It is a small bridge almost covered now by vegetation but has a long history. Built between 1760 and 1782, it was probably the entrance to the large estate of Unstead Park. The bridge is made of red brick produced in the region (the vast majority of buildings in England are made of red brick, a material that is made from the raw material from British quarries). Across the bridge is an old tannery, the largest community back in the nineteenth century. It has over 600 cavities

For the treatment of animal skins in order to make them suitable for use (certain skins needs treatments lasting up to two years in duration).

Le pont de Trowers se trouve sur le fleuve anglais Wey, un affluent de la Tamise, dans un créneau qui relie les villes de Guildford et de Godalming. C´est un petit pont presque recouvert de végétation mais qui a une riche histoire. Construit entre 1760 et 1782, c´était probablement l´entrée du grand domaine de Unstead Park. Le pont est fabriqué en brique rouge de la région, comme la grande majorité des constructions d´Angleterre, faite de briques dont la matière première est extraite des carrières britanniques. De l´autre coté du pont se trouve une vieille fabrique de traitement des peaux et du cuir, la plus grande de la région, qui est ouverte depuis le XIXème siècle. Il y a plus de 600 cavités pour le traitement des peaux animales, pour les teindre et les rendre consommables, sachant que certaines peaux demandent jusqu´a 2 ans de traitement.

The bridge is made of red brick in the region, as the vast majority of buildings in England, made of bricks which the raw material is extracted from the British careers. On the other side of the bridge is an old factory processing hides and leather, the largest in the region, which is open since the nineteenth century. There are more than 600 cavities for the treatment of animal skins for dyeing and making supplies, knowing that some skins require up to 2 years of treatment.
