The suspension bridge at Cambus 'O May which gave access from south bank of river Dee to the railway station throughout GNoSR, LNER and BR days. Sadly damaged in the December 2015 storms/floods. From a quick look main suspension cables, end towers and anchor blocks OK. Deck needs remedial work.

The original 1905 suspension bridge being cut up ready for replacement. At the time I just happened to be taking a walk along the old Deeside Line when I managed to get a few shots of the dismantling. Thirty years later the replacement bridge was itself badly damaged by the River Dee in spate; it was eventually repaired and re-opened in 2021.
