  2. Re - the mystery photo I believe that the bridge in question was/is the steel bridge over the canal just along from where there were 2/3 part sunken barges.We used to stand in the middle part and look down into the canal from there.It was also used as a dare to the younger kids to stand inside as a refuge when the trains came through.The bridge in the background is the one midway between Balloon Woods and the crematorium which has been decorated by pupils from local schools(supervised drawings - not grafitti).
