was still there last summer, used to jump off it onto the coal barges late 50s early 60s n skive a lift to burnley or blackburn, used to jump across to one coming the opposite way to get back home, lovely summer pastime, the Bargees were nearly all characters,had some good laffs. just noticed think yer on the wrong swingbridge? cant drive down jacksons field to the cut- no vehicular acess.
