This one is for John of Benfleet.

Bridge over the river colne.  Built during the first world war for conveying troops from the Cherry Tree camp at Black heath on the Mersea road to Wivenhoe station.
The middle section is of the cantilever design to allow barge traffic through.
The bridge was built near the Albion pub at Rowhedge over to the Wivenhoe shore.
