This is an old lifting bridge over the Grantham Canal at the junction of Radcliffe Road and Rutland Road. The Bridge was built in 1929 and demolished 19th November 1953. I rescued the photograph from being thrown out of our office at Rushcliffe Borough Council. The photograph was taken by Mr E Hackworth 1/50s at F11 H.P.3. The car travelling over the bridge is a Morris Minor MM 918 cc side valve and a forerunner to the Morris 1000
