House on left foreground possible clockmaker.

The packhorse bridge at Drayford is marked on Donne's Map of 1765 but dated from long before that.  It carried the "Great Road to Exeter" from South Molton in those days. In 1811 a special rate was levied on properties for the repair of Drayford and Worlington Bridges.  It was so narrow that, as the photo shows, carts had to use the ford.

Date: 1912 (uncertain)
