Glenashdale Bridge damaged again

On the Sunday morning before Christmas, a second car crashed on black ice at Glen Ashdale, Whiting Bay. A policeman slid cautiously around in his yellow jacket, noting that the surface was indeed a skating rink, and the Council grit lorry turned up. Nobody was hurt in either crash, fortunately, but the poor old bridge looks like what Marie Lloyd called ‘One of the ruins that Cromwell knocked about a bit’.
