Walter Taylor's white sentinels - complete with their obliging occupants - at either end make this narrow bridge a prominent local landmark. Queues of cars at peak times waiting to cross may not be popular, and in this respect it's showing its age, but it's worth pointing out that there are three other crossings at this location. Brings a bit of eccentric character to the area. Infrastructure just doesn't do that any longer...
