Hello,
     Thankyou 'Geoff-E.' I hope the smiley face on the overlay means yes!
     Lots of views of the Brig o' Turk on this website, including a lovely moonlight scene. Like Cazza's photo, one or two of these show an area through the bridge that looks like rough water. Another reason I'm sure Cazza has found the right bridge.

               Best regards,     Dod.

Added. Singled out this photograph because it shows a little (fisherman's?) shelter against the bridge. Could the roof of that be the little dark area seen on Cazza's photograph? Looks too dense just to be shadows from foliage.

Wow, well done Cazza!
Like others, I was searching the Lake District.  ::)
Brilliant find - no doubt in my mind.

Brig o' Turk it is then - Geoff-E's overlay even shows those diagonal markings on the hill in the background. A result, well done!

I bought an old photo album a few years ago and this photo was in it, the back says The Brig o' Turk, just another for comparison.

Gee Caz, it's pretty rough when you have to ID your own postcards.  ;D
Only joking - well done! I bet you are thrilled.  ;D
