I remember one collapsing in the 1966 floods. An archer was employed by teh
GPO to get a line across for to pull telephone cables across. A bailey bridge
was built quickly by the military to replace it, and I think it's still in
use.


Langwathby, near Penrith. 1968 I think, and I drove over it only a few
years ago.
