robin must have spent a lot of timeon inputting the bridge heights
and making this available
oly for the AA to complainabout copyright
well instead of complaing why not make this available
at a cost to who ever wants it
pulling 15 foot trailers i certainly would be in purchsing a data base |

There must be a way to get the information for free. I see that the councils give out information about their local area, maybe the highways agency have a full list you can use, royalty free?

I hardly spent any time at all, I'm just brilliant 
The data is available for free, but as I understand it is in bits (railtrack, Local Transport Authorities - eg all councils, Highways Authority)
Some councils have the information available eg Lancashire CC has a web site with all low bridges on it!!! - quote from Philly I've asked him for the reference! Watch this space...
I've emailed my MP asking for a response regarding availability of information mentioning joined up government (NOT!!!) but I don't expect a response for at least 3 weeks.
 Why doesn't everyone ask their MP

Anyone who emails me at robin@willow-house.co.uk can get POIs of low bridges for any particular height. 
I will also send updates for any corrections received. 
If you can confirm height and location information I will change the names appropriately. 
Any missing (or incorrect) bridge information gratefully received. 8)
