Please follow the link below to see three pairs of Black Potts footbridge timber decay images.
The first image (from the Inspection Report) of each pair was recorded between one and two years before the recent comparative (second) image that records the significant and accelerating deterioration that has taken place. These images are truly shocking.
The third pair of images are the most remarkable in terms of the rate of material fracture propagation over time. They record both the significant vertical widening and the horizontal extension of the upper right hand fissure – over a relatively short period of time.
