About this postcard

The view shows Flatford Lock on the River Stour, with a wooden footbridge crossing the water and the lock framed by large trees. The scene lies in the Stour valley, known as Constable Country, where John Constable's father operated Flatford Mill and where the painter found subjects that made the area famous. The lock and bridge stand near Flatford Mill in Suffolk, a well-known heritage site.
