Close up showing the method of securing crossing timbers for road vehicles at Bedlam Lane crossing during the Winter of 1971. With the passage of time the continual road traffic used to loosen the bolts which held the timbers in place and when cars or lorries crossed they made a rattling noise. Platelayers would therefore have to check the timbers were kept tight along with ensuring the keys were tight between the chairs and rails.
