Sabrina Bridge


Last night we were moored by Sabrina Bridge in Worcester while visiting some old friends of POS.
I could not help wondering why it had been called Sabrina bridge. Research on the BBC Hereford and Worcester website describes the bridge as a suspension bridge built in 1981 and as a suspension bridge prone to 'bounce' I immeditely assumed it was therefore named after Sabrina, the ample-bosomed English glamour model of the fifties, (who had more than her fair share of bounce, her jumper was once described as resembling two little boys wrestling under a blanket) and that she must have been born or died near here. Imagine my disappointment when further research revealed Sabrina to be a boring old oriver goddess. I much prefer my version
