c1950: The swing bridge at Beccles railway station in Suffolk.

The 6ft-wide timber platform was used for moving milk churns, barrows etc from the island up-platform (No.3) across to the down-platform (No.2) and vice-versa.

It was built in 1933 and folded-up parallel into a recess to become part of the southern end of platform 3. It was controlled via a ground frame from Beccles South Signal Box and was pivoted one end with the other end being guided by a carrying wheel running on a curved rail attached to the sleepers. It was still in use into the 1960s.

@OOCFrancisB Hi Francis! I got back into Train Spotting several years ago, realised there was not an app for us so I built one! Maybe you could take a look? Thank you for your fantastic enthusiasm! #FrancisBourgeois
