I remember the Old Bridge,around the mid 50’s, which had the Moving/Sliding Level both ways, which opened up to let the boats etc., through. My friend Angela, (who lived on a boat near the bridge) and I were allowed to stand on the moving/sliding level by the Bridge Manager (but only a couple of times) It was great fun as young teenagers to see the Yachts sailing through and we would wave at them too!!….xx

The sign at the bridge used to say “swing bridge”which was incorrect. Regards Sparrow

The bridge obviously changed but the quality of the boats in it’s vicinity hasn’t improved has it? Or are they the same boats?
