Swing Bridge and Level Crosing
Monday 13th May 1996 at Godnow Bridge where railway, canal and road meet up.. A narrow boat having passed the swing bridge is now open to road traffic again and a tractor and trailer that had been waiting a considerable time are first over the bridge and level crossing. The old signal box can be seen in the background. It has now been replaced by a modern but sympathetically designed structure for the crossing keeper who still opens and closes the gates by hand.
Here is a photo taken from a similar view point showing the new crossing keeper's box:-
