The Iron Bridge in Brabyn's Park, Marple is of significant historical importance and over the past few decades has fallen into a poor state of repair.

Now, with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, not to mention years of fund raising from local people, over half a million pounds has been allocated to spend on it's restoration.

It's a complicated process and will take 12 months to complete. Fusion Films have been awarded the contract to produce both a documentary and a short drama on the work.

Work on the documentary is well underway. We start seeing the bridge in its tranquil surroundings and follow the restoration work through the eyes of both the contractors explaining the technical issues and local people passionate about the project. 14 shoot days have so far been booked in for the project. The bulk of the filming is on Hi-Definition but major engineering work is also being acquired using specialist 16mm film timelapse equipment.

Ultimately, the film will be shown in museums managed by Stockport Council and also distributed on DVD. A 26 minute edit combining the drama and the documentary is also being produced with the hope that the broadcast rights to the project can be marketed.
