I found this film of the replacement of Trowse Swingbridge on YouTube. It shows the workings inside and out of the old bridge and signal box before showing its removal and replacement. There’s plenty BR of nostalgia for everyone! Some of the then every day working practices seen here just wouldn’t happen today.
It doesn’t say who made the film or whether it was a film for public viewing but John Huntley is the narrator.
