Footbridge Over The Canal

A Memory of Carnforth.

I recall the day the iron footbridge was lowered into place over the canal. I'm probably wrong but I think it was lowered into its position by a huge crane, how they got it to the bridge I've no idea. Have I dreamt this and did it actually come in sections? Before the bridge arrived everyone used the road bridge and we small kids used to launch ourselves up the bridge wall to see the water below. How none of us ever fell over is nothing short of a miracle, we sat there, legs dangling. My stomach turns over just to think of the risks we took back then.
