Dist:0.1km<br/>Until 1962 the only way to cross the Went here was by a ford, which was impassable in flood conditions. The bridge is a simple reinforced concrete platform on two square piers, the approach fence is in a bad way as the concrete crumbles to reveal the reinforcing bars. The small brick building is a sewage pumping station.
