Work got under way this week to remove the tangled remains of the first of two iconic bridges from the River Annan.
Flash floods at the end of October saw the force of the water in the river sweep away 125 years of history by destroying Annan’s Jubilee and Cuthbertson Bridges in a matter of seconds.
Since then, Dumfries and Galloway Council has been seeking permission from nearby landowners to carry out the removal of the tangled wreckage from the water.
