Demolition of the Free Bridge, Jackfield, 1993
Down she comes . . . we can date this photo of the demolition of the old Free Bridge at Jackfield exactly – it was taken on September 9, 1993.
In its day it was a pioneering bridge of ferro-concrete construction, but deteriorated to the extent that it had to be demolished and replaced.
A remnant is retained on the south bank of the river as a sort of memorial to it.

the coming together of the ford mk 1 consul and the guy otter or vixen pantechnicon is of interest. sadly there is no evidence of local interest as neither vehicle is sporting a local registration plate.
the mk 1 consul was made circa 1954-1957 and the guy made circa 1946- 1954. i suspect this incident took place about 1958. incidentally dinky toys made an excellent model of both these vehicles!
