That'd be perfect. And given said bridge is currently in storage (or
was last time I checked) due to maintenance expenses/vandalism/god
knows what, they could buy that exact one for cheap.


The ever reliable wikipedia entry says "It was removed in Summer 2008
for maintenance and is due back in the next few weeks" - no idea if
that's actually the case!

I regret never having seen it in action - it lifted every Friday at
noon, so hopefully it will do so again (and I'll definitely go and see
it this time!).
