I remember it well Slowhands as in 1958-9 I used that bridge to travel to and from Sharpness (my first job) to Lydney/Chepstow and used to lodge with a family of which the husband worked the Regent boats from Avonmouth to Stourport. Fortunately, he was not involved. A terrible tragedy it was. I used to be kept awake by the foghorn on many occasions as I was not used to it. Would be lovely to have the bridge restored. Is there, or is there to be a memorial plaque anywhere do you know?
