Egerton Bridge (2)
This is an example of a bascule bridge. When it is raised, it is counterbalanced by the large weight shown on the left hand side. In this particular example, the weight is evenly distributed by the rolling action of the bridge (see bottom left hand side). Visit http://www.wirral.gov.uk/ed/Egerton.htm for access details.

Egerton Bridge
Egerton Bridge is situated between Egerton Dock and Morpeth Dock and is a working example of a bascule bridge. It was built between 1928 and 1931, as one of four similar bascule bridges in the Merseyside docks, replacing an earlier swing bridge. The bridge and the machine house were completely restored in 1993 and opened to the public in 1995.
