Branston Bridge (No 34) carries the lane from Branston towards Tatenhill. The Bridge Inn used to be a cosy traditional Marston's pub, but now it is more of a restaurant that serves properly made Italian food and has a bar. The furniture is heavy, the homeliness has gone. However, the garden is a pleasant area for a pint of real ale on a warm dry summer evening. (Does anyone remember those?) Edit: Take a good look. The large red-brick Nurton Bridge has yet to be built forty metres beyond Branston Bridge.
