Bridge over railway on Wotton footpath 115 The railway people have thought fit to impose a weight limit of 8 tons, yet a plate advises they do not feel obliged to maintain it for anything other than a footpath. The parapets show signs of repaired cracking with tell-tale patches dated 4.10, already (2011) slightly cracked again. The odd thing is that despite the frailty of the structure, there is no sign of a bridge number plate and safety plate giving a contact number in the event of an accident.
