Lift a bridge over a canal


Sometimes called a liftbridge, but what I know as a drawbridge, this structure sits on Caldon Canal near Stockton Brook. It enables people from the farm (on the other side to the path) to move their cattle across the canal - while also letting narrowboats through.

I suppose they must be common enough, as it's a straightforward enough piece of mechanics, but I've not seen many.
