Bailey Bridge (Walton on Trent)
- ... that a "temporary" bridge has provided a crossing of the River Trent at Walton for more than 70 years? "An original bridge was built in 1834, which lasted more than 100 years before needing to be replaced by a temporary version - the Bailey bridge. Army Royal Engineers erected this on top of the old bridge in 1947, removing part of it to allow for a support to be built on the Staffordshire bank of the river. Flood damage had meant engineers were called in to install the Bailey bridge after the severe winter of 1947. The bridge was once again replaced in 1974 with a modern version, but was still a temporary Bailey bridge structure." (Derby Telegrapg)

- Comment: The 1947 bridge was replaced in 1974, but this was also described as a temporary bridge
