Weymouth Town Bridge is a lifting bascule bridge connecting the formerly separate boroughs of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis. When lifted it allows boats access to the inner backwater of Weymouth Harbour, known as Weymouth Marina. It was opened in 1930 and, is the sixth to have been built across the harbour since 1597. Today the hydraulically-operated bridge is raised every two hours, 363 days of the year. It is listed Grade II.

I find a lot of interest in the shapes and structures of concrete and aggregates plant. This particular example I happened upon whilst looking for brickworks remains at Chickerell near Weymouth. The brickworks had long been demolished and replaced with this works and the council refuse department garage and workshops with an enormous stockpile of wheelie bins at the back.
