' Bath Bridge. Around 1958 I was travelling in a coach towards Bristol. It would have been around 6pm. As our coach started to cross the bridge the Police Officer on point duty suddenly left his post and many other bystanders ran to the swinging bars of the safety railing marking the diving point of a car with 'L' driver and instructor inside. All traffic had stopped and brave souls were leaping into the River Avon. Sadly all to no avail. '
