Combwich Wharf (PiP) HFF

Evening light on Combwich Wharf on the River Parrett, Somerset.

Once the site of an ancient ferry crossing the port was used for the export of local goods and import of timber from the 15th Century. The village was the centre for brick and tile making from as long ago as 1842, and it served as the local brick and coal yard until the 1930s when the creek silted up.

The spur of water that served the wharf is known as Combwich Pill and Combwich wharf is currently being used for the delivery of large equipment for use on the Hinkley Point C power station

The PiP shows an historic channel marker buoy at the wharf.



I have added a song by the Grateful Dead, - 'Wharf Rats'

Beautiful evening light and a lovely scene, with those colourful flowers giving a great foreground Carol. I reckon the marker in the PiP deserves a separate posting. HFF, stay safe and best wishes for the weekend.

Une lumière tardive qui donne beaucoup de charme à cette scène printanière sur la rivière ! L'histoire de ce port est aussi très inintéressante et explique bien la présence de la bouée ! Jolies captures, Carol ! Passez un bon week-end, HFF !
