@sinbach The Bailey Bridge used in the second world

@andyharris wow! i never knew about that bridge - i mean of course I knew about it by visual recognition - but never knew the history of that bridge system or the significance. ....i just looked it up. that is an absolutely fascinating piece of history. pretty cool

@sinbach one of our guys Colin Brooks at our Church food Bank used to ask me questions about Rotherham for me to look up. The inventor of the Bailey bridge lived on the same street as him . Apparently Field Marshal Montgomery said if we hadn't had the bridge we may not have Won the War , Take care Brother 😎

@andyharris @sinbach I have zero clue what that is Andy 😂 where is it??

@bethany @sinbach It cross the canal from Eastwood village into Parkgate shopping centre it's only used now for foot traffic

@andyharris @sinbach I assumed that was just a bridge... I'm surprised you've never given me the full textbook history of it before now 😂

@bethany @sinbach 😎Never knew Little old Rotherham was famous eh ! Over 700 of those bridges were produced for the War effort Rotherham will one day be famous for a massive outpouring of the By spirit , Now that will make history 😎

@bethany @sinbach this auto correct is bad That should have read Holy Spirit 🤣

@bethany @sinbach Pictures of the said bridge to follow with correct spelling etc. 😎

@andyharris @sinbach yes it will! And always where BTJ first began in the UK 😁❤️

@bethany @sinbach I painted the original office and put the door on and the enormous world map on the wall 🤣

@bethany @sinbach Just remembered Barry helped me and the vertical join didn't meet up correctly so some areas of India don't exist 🤣Fortunately I wasn't involved in creation
