	Image:South Liberty Lane9.jpg\|About half way along South Liberty Lane (opposite Risdale Road) is a path that leads to a footbridge across the railway. It's pretty grim, going between two scraggy old warehouses, but the footbridge is a great place to watch the trains go past.
	~~Image:South Liberty Lane10.jpg\|A view of the footbridge taken from the Bedminster Down side of the track. Those stormy clouds are probably why I had a cold for a week after taking these shots..~~
	Image:South Liberty Lane17.jpg\|A side view of the bridge showing the lovely cast iron pillars holding it up. The bridge was originally a crossing place for miners who lived in Bedminster Down and worked at the nearby colliery.

	Image:47817South Liberty Lane1989.jpg\|[[47817]] accelerates hard under the footbridge as it heads for Plymouth.
