Non-visit log. This FB may have been reported destroyed but I couldn't help but notice something vaguely FB-like on a picture of this bridge at http://tinyurl.com/29asd6 . It's below and to the left of the water hydrant plate. I think a site visit is going to be necessary.... Edit 21/08/2007 - looks like I was right!
