Painted in September 2010 over three evenings, when the biggest spring tide of the year pushed up so far, it didn’t just flood all the saltings but poured into adjoining meadows and even partly covered the roadway: I had to stop work and climb onto the bridge parapet for about ten minutes, each session! The view is southwards from the original Mullock Bridge; very calm each time, with both little river noises and even small sounds from afar easily heard.
Just below the far ridge is Slatehill Farm – at the time of writing, up for sale.
