Claycart Bridge over the Basingstoke Canal. This type of mass-produced bridge was designed by Captain Hopkins of the Royal Engineers for use during the First World War. Hopkins had earlier built bridges for the Great Western Railway. His design was also used by A.M. Hamilton when building roads in Iraq, before he patented his Callender-Hamilton bridge.
