Lift Bridge (2024 Week 24)
A rare example of a lift bridge on the Basingstoke Canal near St john's (Odiham) Castle.
Once a swing bridge, the lifting bridge was installed in 1988. Spanning a tranquil spot on the Basingstoke Canal in North Warnborough, the bridge can be lifted to allow narrow boats through. It's the only lifting bridge on the canal and you can find it just south west of Odiham Castle. If you're lucky, you might even see it in action.
