Great pictures and not a hard hat / Hi Vis jacket to be seen , ‘Elf ‘n’ Safety has moved on a bit has it not! Don’t know who the Contractors were? 1963 indeed, the year I left Mansfield. Don’t quite remember seeing the progress or the completion of the project. Memorable location none the less.

I remember this work taking place, my dad (Kenneth Reid) was a plate-layer for BR, both he and my uncle (Harold Brewin) along with a chap called Edgar worked all sorts of hours on the replacement Bridge. I was at work then but I still had to take his hot dinners wrapped up in a basket to keep it warm. Wonderful memories.
