August 26, 2023, Vazon Swing Bridge

Vazon Swing Bridge is a conventional swing bridge but nearby the railway crosses to the south side of the canal on a very rare type of sliding bridge. This is the Vazon sliding railway bridge, which moves aside to allow boats to navigate down the Stainforth and Kneadby canal.

Godnow Bridge railway station was a small railway station on the line between Doncaster and Keadby. Now it is a great little bridge to cross over the Stainforth and Keadby canal.
