THE removal of the bridge at Altrincham Interchange evoked childhood memories of my noticing new wood inlaid into the floor of the bridge on the many occasions I crossed it.
On asking my dad, as small boys do, why this was so, I was told that a German plane had damaged the bridge and it had needed repairing.
Ever since I have wondered whether this was just a tale to fire a small boy’s imagination, which it certainly did, or whether it was in fact true.
Can anyone tell me?
