In the late 1990's I left Morris Cowley with a train bound for Longbridge, whilst passing Upper Heyford I felt the train for a split second hold back! I naterully thought that my 47 had lost power, but at Banbury they put me inside, I was asked by both the signalman and a movements inspector if I felt anything, only a loss of power surge, we walked back and found that this cartic had hit a bridge,,,,

What was once part of a route from Manchester to Henniker, NH, the former B&M Goffstown branch was used up until the mid 1970s. There was once a covered bridge leading to Goffstown Station, but this was destroyed by fire, and the whole line was soon abandoned afterwards. There is still some traces of it left, like this bridge abutment that once supported the famous covered bridge.
Looking across the Ashton Swing Bridge in Bristol's Cumberland Basin, from the Ashton side to the city, with one set of rails now tarmac'd over for the cycle path, while the other set are fenced off. The bridge last carried trains for the 1996 Festival of the Sea but now stands mothballed, though it would form part of the proposed / pointless Ashton Vale – Temple Meads Rapid Transit Route.

Walking along this bridge was terrifying for me because you could see right between the ties to the river below. Evidently this fear wasn't shared with my friend here.

'Hebden Bridge is noted for having significant numbers of alternative New Age types and a gay and (especially) lesbian community. In the 1980s and 1990s many lesbians moved there, and to neighbouring Todmorden, to raise their children in a place of mutual support. As of 2004 Hebden Bridge had the highest number of lesbians per head in the UK.
In April 2005 Hebden Bridge was declared the 4th funkiest place in the world by highlife (the British Airways flight magazine) and was described as "modern and stylish in an unconventional and stylish way.' (Wikipedia)
I found it a pleasant, lively place with small independent shops and a good selection of tearooms - always a good thing!
I fortified myself, in one such establishment, with a lovely 'buck rarebit' before tackling the gruelling cobbled path to Heptonstall, in search of memories of poetsTed Hughes and Sylvia Plath and an atmospheric ruined church and graveyard...

The Warrington Transporter Bridge has been out of use since 1964 and is deteriorating quite quickly even though it is listed Grade II* and is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It was opened across the tidal River Mersey in 1916, at a cost of £34,000, to conect parts of the Joseph Crosfield and Son Ltd soap and chemical works. Initially it carried railway trucks up to 18 tons in weight but was converted for road vehicles in 1940 and upgraded to 30 ton weight limit in 1953. The double steel cantilevers on each tower support a central 200ft span of riveted mild steel plates and angles. The overall length of the structure is 339ft and it provides 76ft clearance at high water. It was designed by William Henry Hunter, and built by contractor Sir William Arrol. It is now owned by Warrington Borough Council
