No more joy than others. If it still exists either we have all missed it or it is buried - I couldn't see anywhere else for it to hide.

Not on back face at described location, nor elsewhere on bridge apparently.

Not very clear (to me) where it would be - no very obvious NE end to parapet, curves round into road bend. Bridge rebuilt 1932 according to plaque - should be old enough!

Description indicates not roadside (over wall) but needs further investigation.
