MAN POWER
This is the very short video of me closing the lift bridge on the Prees Arm. It`s the only one that is operated by sheer physical strength and a chain instead of using a windlass to operate the hydraulic mechanism on the other bridges.
Hi Grey Wolf Actually i think it`s easier to just use the chain as the windlass wind is quite long, although i have heard that some of the chain operated bridges on other parts of the system can be very hard to operate but i think this one being a listed structure has been well maintained.

I bet you're missing me now aren't you?
did you feel it was easier than the other method or easier with a windlass.
Hi Antinady
I`ve missed you both from November.
After all these liftbridges i bought myself some choccies.

Great video Les! I had a good chuckle at your little dance on the end of the chain! Glad you won the bout!
