Down the river

A view down the Weaver.

The mechanism

Acton Swing Bridge was built in 1933 to replace an earlier stone bridge. This mechanism is used to swing the bridge open to allow large vessels to pass along the river.

The bridge

Acton Bridge is so-called because of a bridge! This is an impressive swing bridge which carries the A49 across the Weaver.
