   Hi, ALL!   
      
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   Cornwall: English Heritage builds Tintagel Castle footbridge   
   A dramatic footbridge connecting two halves of Tintagel Castle on the north   
   coast of Cornwall - the legendary birth place of King Arthur - is opening on   
   Sunday.   
      
   Built by English Heritage, it is a mirror of the original land bridge that   
   would have connected the island to the mainland more than 500 years ago.

   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   This passage:   
   "it is a mirror of the original land bridge that would have connected the   
   island to the mainland more than 500 years ago."   
      
   Something strange. If that bridge existed 500 years ago we should write:   
      
   "it is a mirror of the original land bridge that (had) connected the island to   
   the mainland more than 500 years ago."   
      
   I can't understand the sense of "would have connected" in "the bridge that   
   would have connected the island to the mainland more than 500 years ago."   
      
   Bye, ALL!
