'Red' Plaque in Lincoln

 Hello There! Here is another short post from my visit to Lincoln.

While walking up to Steep Hill, in Lincoln I saw a red plaque on the wall of a building.


So not only was the first 'Tank' designed in Lincoln but also built there too.

I thought that the first tanks were built in Lincoln but did not know where and had no idea where they were designed.

Another little surprise from this outing!

Bailey Bridge

 Hello There! while walking in the countryside, during my short holiday, I chanced  upon this.


I must admit I did not expect an original Bailey Bridge to be in the middle of the countryside! It has concrete abutments and corrugated steel on each bank.


It had seen considerable use and had a concreted road surface on it as well. It bridged a large stream between two farmers fields.

There is one crossing the road at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, which links the main site and the car park, but that is much newer than this example.
