NEW FOOTBRIDGE OVER RIVER BAIN
 |
|
|
After many years of campaigning, the footbridge across the River Bain has now been re-instated, once again giving walkers access to Dogdyke. Until the early 1950’s quite a high, wooden footbridge linked the two communities, giving enjoyment to countless walkers. Unfortunately the structure became unsafe and it had to be destroyed. |

For a number of years Tattershall Parish Council regularly campaigned to get the footbridge re-instated and much to their delight in 2006 were allocated grant funding through the Lincolnshire County Council Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund to enable the work to proceed. |
 |
The footbridge was officially opened on Thursday 28th June 2007 by Mr John Porter MBE, witnessed by councillors and members of the public. |
 |
The footbridge was constructed on Tyneside and transported to Tattershall by road, with it eventually being craned into position. |
