Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Just in case anyone else comes up with the answer I'll hold off until this evening before posting the full story.  I'm after the gardens either side of the bridge.

[John Walker]

Thanks Martin.  Is the connection, the adjoining Princess Of Wales's Royal Regiment, C Company?  Or perhaps Watts Meadow Nature Reserve?

[MartinR]

Yes John, you have it, so start preparing the next one.  However, the bridge is over a part of Fort Clarence, but do you know either the original name of the area at either end of the bridge when it was originally given to the city?  This is the bit that brings in 20thC history.

In the grounds of Fort Pitt.

[John Walker]

Remains of a footbridge - Fort Clarence?

[Lutonman]

Fort Amhurst?

I'll hold back for a while as if its the one I originally thought it was I played on this for years as a kid. Tried to access the site a few years ago but couldnt get close enough to see it from this angle.

[MartinR]

John was closer.

[grandarog]

Probably too far away. Fort Luton. Magpie Hall Road.

[MartinR]

Much, much closer

[John Walker]

Fort Borstal?

[MartinR]

Not Dover anywhere.  Not a road bridge.

[Beachbum]

Drop Redoubt North Entrance, Road Bridge from 1950's ?

[MartinR]

OK, time for another clue.  The bridge was over a part of a Napoleonic fort, but the bridge itself was younger.

[MartinR]

There is a very strong element of that in the answer.
