Summary edit

Description
English: Bridge 98, near Crofton. The bridge carries a bridleway over the Kennet and Avon canal. The concrete bollards date from the dark days of 1939/40 when the risk of invasion by German forces was a real one. The Ministry of Defence have taken the view that the risk, though diminished, remains and that therefore so should the bollards. I have to say the knowledge that these sentinels are still here guarding uncomplaining against the foreign hordes should make all of us sleep easier in our beds.
