History
Built in 1962 to link J. Blakeborough and Sons works and offices in Birds Royd and River Street to Sherwood Works on the Armytage Road Industrial Estate.[1] It was closed to vehicles c1980 after production ceased on the site. A public footpath crosses the bridge.
The Bridge was built to an American Specification and not to British Standard.[2]
gollark: Well, that's horribly annoying.
gollark: What am I *meant* to do with it?
gollark: Er, it is copied in along with the rest of the `os` table.
gollark: Do I need to just throw out all the code or something?
gollark: I don't know why, but for some reason `load(stuff, stuff, environment table)` does not appear to do anything to `os.run`, which sticks to the environment of outside the sandbox as its default.
