Fernworthy Reservoir Uncovered

Work commenced on building Fernworthy reservoir in 1936 and it was completed in 1942. In the process this little bridge and a nearby clapper bridge (see extra) were covered by the waters. I would estimate about 6 - 8 feet under the water when the reservoir is full. Just occasionally following low levels of rainfall when the water levels go down the bridges are exposed again.  I haven't seen them before and obviously I don't know when they will exposed again so my walk early this morning was to have a closer look at what has been revealed. The bridges have been remarkably well preserved by the water. There are a lot more on my blog if you would like to see more.
