Brunel's Other Bridge 2

From here it's easier to see the pivot point for Brunel's Other Bridge, and the wheels at this end which would have helped it roll. It weighs about 68 tons, and was originally turned by a hand crank before being converted to hydraulic power like much of the rest of the docks equipment.

You can see an aerial photo of it in place in its "swung" position on the Brunel's Other Bridge website.
