Walney Bridge 'Bascule'
1907-1908
Walney Bridge between Walney Island and Barrow under construction. Viewed looking east along the bridge from the Walney side. The bascule is raised and only partially constructed. Horse and cart loaded with large timber beams in foreground. Building materials and equipment cover the approach to the bascule and several workmen can be seen, some working others "discussing” the task at hand. Various buildings and large shipyard crane in distance.
