"Google" Southease swing bridge images.
There are hundreds available including some old ones.
Are you aware that because of a low weight restriction on the swing bridge a Bailey Bridge was constructed alongside during WW2 to enable army tanks to cross. On one particular exercise a lone tank was late arriving, and unaware of the reason to use the Bailey Bridge, crossed the swing bridge in error, luckily without falling through the timber decking.
