The bridge is no longer marked on 1:50K mapping, although it is still shown at 1:25K. It seems in very poor shape - I certainly wouldn't want to cross it! I beat back the vegetation on the SE of the bridge by the towpath but didn't find the FB. There is, however, a (cancelled?) cut BM on the other side of the bridge.
