			=====Description=====

	Trees on river banks often fall of their own accord and 'bridge' across streams. It is quite likely that such natural occurrences gave early man the idea to cut down a suitable tree to cross a river. The word ''''beam'''' describes this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_bridge '''basic bridge design'''] and is also an old word for ''''tree'''' - such as found in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbeam '''Hornbeam'''] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitebeam '''Whitebeam'''] for example.
