Bridge over the River Monnow
This was erected by the Royal Engineers, who have a camp on Vauxhall Fields, in 1931 as a replacement for an earlier structure. It's an Inglis bridge, so named after its inventor, Sir Charles Edward Inglis, who designed it to be portable, lightweight and easily erectable by a single army unit in the space of an afternoon. This is apparently a Mark II version of the design.

High Water Mark
It is mid-summer and the River Monnow, visible beyond the fence, is about 5 metres below the road level. After heavy prolonged rain, the river rises dramatically and debris from a previous rushing torrent can be seen forming a watermark on this chain link fence.
