Maybe it is a Lemon Turd Cart

I disagree Jane. That comment is in no way making you look stupid. ;)  ;D

When I first saw the photo I had in mind a Suffolk location too Jane, however I think that perhaps the cart and the water gave that impression.

Zooming in I am not so sure. The bridge with the taller buildings behind made me think of somewhere 'continental'. I am unsure why, perhaps it is seldom that in the UK you will see a rural scene with bridge and tall buildings, and perhaps I would expect to see 'lower' buildings.
(Upon thinking again, I am not sure that statement is correct ....  :P )

It is a tricky one because that scene is unlikely to exist today. Some people have had luck searching for the same postcard (but named). I think this has happened on a couple of "mystery location" threads.

  Yes, it was. Thank you.   It is an old family joke of ours.  I think the Brides Father was a very straight and posh bank manager or solicitor. that's what is so funny about it.
He was distinctly tipsy at the wedding reception  and he was taking a tray of Lemon Curd Tarts around,  and he got all mixed up.

Ok. Pax please. As usual I am in the wrong. So once again sorry. But we are in danger of straying from the topic and getting personal.

Can we get back to the picture?

I had to google, but gee that looks close Claire!

I think the bridge might be a little different but it could have been renovated. In Jane's photo there are vertical protruding rows of bricks between the arches and the bricks go to the top of the bridge, whereas the Eardisland bridge has a wide row of stones along the top of the bridge. (sorry, not sure that is explained well enough but I hope you can see what I mean)

If we can find a photo of Eardisland taken from a similar angle that should help.  :)
