Stumbled onto this the other day:
Hemington Quarry bridge

Far too little information on the carpentry itself. Anyone know more about this? Ken?

Very Cool, or should I say Sweet...

I'd like to know how it's joined myself.

Hi Clark,

Sorry I can add little to the BBC report except that I find it a little odd than "bug food" (sugar) is being used to preserve the timbers. We might live to regret this action.

Regards

Nice detective work Dave. That's what I was hoping to learn more about. CB.
