2011 : Tide weir on the River Avon
Between Netham and St.Anne's. Seen from New Brislington Bridge.
The weir was built to hold water in the River Avon for navigation, tidal effects can be felt as far upstream as Keynsham.

The weather's been rough recently
Strong winds and rain have cleared out some of the more vulnerable vegetation along the Avon. Some bits are big enough to flush downstream but too big to navigate Netham weir.

Netham Dam and New Brislington Bridge
Until the early 1800's, Bristol Docks were tidal, which made it awkward unloading ships. This weir was built to keep the water level in the Floating Harbour constant, and a new channel was dug for the River Avon to flow down. Although the river is theoretically tidal as far as Keynsham Lock, the effects of tides are much reduced upstream of this point. The same spot, seen from the opposite direction, can be seen here Image]

2011 : New Brislington Bridge, Feeder Road, St.Anne's, Bristol
A reinforced concrete structure, dating around 1930 (it was new then).
Crosses the River Avon a few yards above the tidal weir. The river above the weir is navigable as far as Bath having access to Bristol Docks via The Feeder Canal.
The bridge provides an essential link between Redfield, Pile Marsh and other areas north of the river and St.Anne's and Brislington to the south. The next road-bridge upstream is the (A4174) ring road (there is a footbridge at ST 621 730).
Thanks to advice from fellow Geographer Stephen Richards have been able to find the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeport_Lamp_Chimney_Company_Bowstring_Concrete_Arch_Bridge from this have been able to establish this is a Bowstring Concrete Arch Bridge and my guestimate of around 1930 was probably not far out. For more information see the link.
