Bailey Bridge

 Hello There! while walking in the countryside, during my short holiday, I chanced  upon this.


I must admit I did not expect an original Bailey Bridge to be in the middle of the countryside! It has concrete abutments and corrugated steel on each bank.


It had seen considerable use and had a concreted road surface on it as well. It bridged a large stream between two farmers fields.

There is one crossing the road at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, which links the main site and the car park, but that is much newer than this example.
