Does the bridge appear in these Geograph images for OS square ST9268?

The OP didn't mention which One-Name  they are interested in studying.
But they might find it here, on the WikiTree database:

Hello Monica,
Thanks for that.

The creator, Bill Chadwick, added this remark in 2021.

Google have recently ended free use of their mapping services by medium volume websites. For now, WTP is running on limited daily quotas so may fail on you from time to time. As of July 2019 the OSM Landscape and Cycle maps have had to be removed for cost reasons -sorry.l am actively looking for ways to keep the site running.Since August 2021 OS have moved from a daily to monthly map quota. If the site does not work near the month end, talk to them. Thanks for all the support over the years. Bill Chadwick Aug 2021

Just in case anyone does fall foul of the limited quotas, can I suggest the side-by-side map at NLS?

For example : Fort William

Sadly that Tiscali web page seems to have withered and died.
Can I offer this instead?

Here's an index (with place names that might not be familiar to us now) on Find A Grave.

https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/search?cemetery-name=&cemetery-loc=Scotland&only-with-cemeteries=cemOnly&locationId=country_50&page=1#cem-2793939

Or the same with counties as a top level

https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery-browse/Scotland?id=country_50

I'd offer a link to a map-version if I could.
