Welcome to Workington
The sign welcoming those who pass it into Workington. Proud winners of Cumbria in Bloom on several occasions. The sign doesn't indicate Workington's fate in the competition in the years since 2005, I couldn't help thinking whether they had simply ran out of space on the sign or if their fortunes in the competition had waned since.

Barker Crossing, River Derwent, Workington
In November 2009 severe flooding of the River Derwent brought down or damaged all four road and pedestrian bridges in Workington. The railway bridge survived, but travelling between the north and south sides of the town by road involved a 14 mile detour, with long delays in the rush hour.
The Army were requested to build this temporary footbridge, and worked round the clock in difficult conditions to complete it. The bridge was opened 18 days after the floods hit.
It is named in memory of Police Constable Bill Barker, who was swept to his death when the Northside Bridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/571476 collapsed under him as he was directing motorists away from it.

For background information, see Image . This temporary footbridge across the River Derwent is 52m long and weighs 110 tonnes. It is a Mabey Compact 200 bridge http://www.mabeybridge.co.uk/compact-bridging.asp built from prefabricated components.
It was opened on the morning of 7 December 2009. First across were children, who had been putting up with long bus journeys when floods destroyed their usual routes to school.
