I'm not sure of the exact location of this, it's somewhere near the junction of the B073 and A338 I think. I can't find any evidence of the thatched cottage surviving today.

Blackwater Ferry was a popular spot for postcard photographers and Stuart was no exception. Arthur Henry Davies painted a similar view in the late 19th Century.
