Black Bridge - a telescopic bridge
The old drawbridge, crossing the Parrett, used to carry plenty of docks trains in the past. The bridge would have been pulled out of the way for masted vessels passing underneath. There were columns supporting the lines with sections of rail capable of being moved on rollers and skids. Originally operated manually, steam power arrived later, with the engine house was located on the far side near the modern car wash. It was a busy bridge until the construction of the modern road bridge (The Clink) close by in the 1980s. Black Bridge was built between 1850-99 and is a Grade II* listed structure.

Bridgwater - The Black Bridge
Built in 1871 to carry a railway line across the river it is now a pedestrian bridge. The centre section could be pulled back to allow vessels to pass but has probably not worked since the 1920s. The steam plant survived into the early 1970s but has now been largely scrapped. Part of the mechanism does survive and the vertical boiler is preserved in a non-workable condition at Westonzoyland Pumping Station.
