Bridging The Centuries
Dorset Magazine|February 2018

The bridges of Lydlinch have a tale to tell. One threatens to transport you if you wilfully damage it, and the other played an important role in the Second World War.

Steve Harris
Bridging The Centuries

I AM one of those awful people who is always late. Not by much, maybe five or ten minutes. But I am consistent in my tardiness, to the extent that when I arrange to meet someone I give them two times: my target time of arrival, and when to realistically expect me.

Consequently I am always in a hurry, so I pay little attention to the world flying past me. Which is probably why up until last month I have never previously noticed Lydlinch’s bridges.
