I remember one collapsing in the 1966 floods. An archer was employed by
teh GPO to get a line across for to pull telephone cables across. A bailey
bridge was built quickly by the military to replace it, and I think it's
still in use.

That sounds like the bridge over the Eden on the Alston to Penrith road at
Langwathby. http://www.langwathby.org/bridge.htm
