| The client required a bridge wide enough to allow a mini-tractor and trailer to cross a stream. The design copied a bridge the client had seen on a visit to Exbury Hall near Southampton home of Lord Rothschild. The construction uses English Oak with both bandsawn and planed finishes and any metal fixings, although generally concealed, are of stainless steel. The deck consists of boards of alternating thickness, facilitating grip for the tractor's wheels and pedestrians feet when negotiating the arch.
