The wedding bridge 131A

[RachNecati]

Anyone know the history and why the given name

[MtB]

You're not the first to ask, and no-one seems to know!

Ah, I thought you meant this one, but I see it's the wrong number.  (They then progressed to my boat.)

 

 

[RachNecati]

Thanks anyway. Lovely photos!

Or alternatively this one from Berko .... That engine-cooling water from Fulbourne's National  is continuous ... The breasted boats inevitably occupy the whole of the bridgehole ... the water reaches the photographer's trainers first, and some bridal hemraising averted a cleaning bill, and an anti-climax after all. This was a wedding-magazine photo-shoot in May2009

Maybe it gave access for the gardener, but the bridge builder misheard when they said "weeding bridge"...
