In the heart of the Cotswolds, the gentle waters of the Windrush ripple beneath the Old Mill Bridge, where willows sway and golden limestone buildings bask in the sun. This postcard view captures the essence of Bourton-on-the-Water’s timeless charm — a place where families linger on stone parapets and cottages reflect softly in the stream below. The scene is quiet yet full of life, a perfect still from a warm spring or summer day.

Published by J. Salmon Ltd. as part of their long-running Cameracolour series, this card was printed in England and reflects the clarity and calm of mid-to-late 20th-century British village tourism. The postcard’s gentle tones and classic layout speak to the enduring appeal of Bourton-on-the-Water, often called “the Venice of the Cotswolds.” The reverse includes Salmon’s signature leaping fish logo and production code 2-33-05-14.

This is more than a pretty scene — it’s a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and remember the quiet pleasures of rural England. Whether added to a collector’s album or gifted to a lover of the Cotswolds, this piece holds within it the enduring grace of one of Britain’s most photographed villages.
