The owner of the adjacent pub, the Pump & Tap, sold the freehold of his land to DMU six years ago for £275K. Had he not done so development on the site wouldn't have been viable. Furthermore, English Heritage have turned down six requests to list the bridge because they didn't consider it of sufficient merit. If, and I appreciate that in the current economic climate it is an if, the sports centre and swimming pool are built they will benefit the community rather more than an ugly obcolete bridge.
