The Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. It was developed in 1940-1941 by the British for military use during World War II and saw extensive use by British, Canadian and US military engineering units. A Bailey bridge has the advantages of requiring no special tools or heavy equipment to assemble.

This is the first major iron bridge in the world, made out of cast iron. It is in a place called Ironbridge (the village is named after it and is where my mum grew up.)   It was built in 1781 by Abraham Darby. The iron bridge was closed to traffic in 1934, and only people can walk across it now. Also, money was collected to cross the bridge until 1950.
