Martin Hardie painted *Snape Bridge* around 1940. He used watercolour to show a small village scene. The bridge was a key spot then—smugglers moved goods there long ago. The bridge sat by the River Alde’s mouth. Before cars came, its red bricks arched over the water. A local pub’s window even helped smugglers signal each other.
