The old sketch shows the view across Cliff Bridge
from Wood's Lodgings around 1849, the year Anne spent her last few days
there. On the left, beyond and below the bridge, can be seen Henry Wyatt's
'Gothic Saloon', beside which are the Spa Wells (see link below). At the
bridge entrance is the Toll Booth where tickets could be purchased allowing
unlimited access to the bridge and Spa Wells for a one, two, or four week
period, or indeed the entire season. Anne took many walks across this
bridge; indeed, the day before she died, she chaperoned Charlotte, and
their friend Ellen Nussey, along it.37n
Today, the bridge is known as the Spa Bridge and it leads to several footpaths,
one of which gradually descends to the Spa buildings - which stand on the
site of the old Gothic Saloon. Just below and to the right of the bridge
(not visible in these pictures) is the Rotunda Museum.
