TM3977 : Bridge over the New Reach closed
taken 3 years ago, near to Halesworth, Suffolk, England
Bridge over the New Reach closed
It would seem that for no apparent reason the bridge has been deemed unsafe. It has remained closed for many months with no sign of any remedial work taking place. It is certainly unsafe in its present condition with people attempting to cross while hanging on to the outside of the barriers.
The Blyth Navigation
Temporarily borrowed from Wikipedia.
The Blyth Navigation was a canal in Suffolk, England, running 7 miles (11 km) from Halesworth to the North Sea at Southwold. It opened in 1761, and was insolvent by 1884. Its demise was accelerated by an attempt to reclaim saltings at Blythburgh, which resulted in the estuary silting up. It was used sporadically until 1911, and was not formally abandoned until 1934.
