On that part of the bridge the floor was wooden planks and there were gaps and knot holes in the wood where you could look through to the workshops. The floor of this part of the Bridge was replaced with metal sheeting with a raised pattern in it (possibly laid by Turners) -very springy and noisy to walk on -you are too young to remember the wooden floor Robert.!

The sides of the bridge were only corrugated from Bridge St end to the side steps down to Pottery Lane, from there to North St the Bridge was very opensided -probably it was blocked later, as there were several accidents where children fell on to the railway track after swinging from the bars of the bridge side .
