THANK you to Tyrone Trimmings who contacted me in response to last week’s Hidden Henley item about Aston Lane in Remenham where you can still see the brick and flint abutments of what was once a bridge.

Mr Trimmings, who is an IT technician at Gillotts School in Henley, says: “I’ve been told that during the war a Bailey bridge was put across the river for the personnel that were stationed/worked at Danesfield to get to work.”

Can any other readers confirm this?
