A mobile home being transported via a truck became wedged on a narrow bridge - blocking traffic for almost an hour.

Margaret Ann Court, 70, and her husband, Peter, 71, had just travelled to Haskins Garden Centre to see their granddaughter on Tuesday afternoon.

Little did they suspect their drive back to Bishopstoke, ordinarily a 15-minute journey, would take them almost an hour - delaying their return journey from watching granddaughter Amari, 15, pick up an award for a Mother's Day event.

The culprit was a large mobile home being transported on Allington Lane, which had become stuck on the small railway bridge.

Margaret said: "It was 47 minutes to get from one end of Allington Road to the other.

"We just sat there talking to people who got out of their cars.

"It is only a little bridge. 

"It was one awful queue. Up to Gleneagles Riding School.

 "I thought, why is everyone turning around, and then you get to the top and think 'oh my word'."

Margaret described sitting in her car with all the windows down, waiting for the mobile home to move, and chatting to others stuck in the queue.

Traffic cleared up when the mobile home gradually made it across the bridge.
