taken 48 years ago, near to Colthrop, West Berkshire, England
Approaching Thatcham Swing Bridge, Kennet and Avon Canal
Before restoration of navigation on this part of the canal, the busy road southwards out of Thatcham had to make do with a swing bridge, although it was permanently set for the road, therefore did not cause too many problems. But the opportunity was taken to replace it by a fixed bridge before navigation started again. In this picture, Thatcham station, still with semaphore signals and a signal box, is seen on the far right.
