Good efforts. There was a really low one on Summer Lane in WSM which is now pedestrianised. Hadn’t really registered the height of it until I heard the aerial on the high top van pinging along the roof ??
See my screen capture up above. Used to live virtually adjacent to it.The traffic lights controlling the entrance ended up in the middle of our drive until the van caught fire in it. That closed it for good, earlier than scheduled.
thought it looked familiar! Feck me, lower than I remembered!

Dobbs wier crossing (now gone) i used to have to have to take down my aerial to get under it in my cortina, there was another one in london on the same line, i think it was the road to the royal small arms factory? they were certainly under 6 foot as i had to crouch down to walk through it (6.3), scarey at 1AM when as a teen you think you can go through at 30MPH ! (cue one very bent aerial!)
Think this is the one? Used to be a 5 foot on the way out of Hoddesdon on Essex road at a level crossing. You could either wait for the train or risk going under if you were low enough. No problem in a proper mini. Since had a flyover built next to it.https://goo.gl/maps/WW2vJzuyjq9TuhYA6

Iam not 100% sure but i think a road once went under this bridge carrying the Newcastle to Carlisle railway line before the Blaydon side of the Scotswood bridge approach roads were built in the 60's.
Looks to be well below 6ft to me.

This one is 7ft but bumpy, also an arrow straight road before & after. Used to be a regular route when I lived up there. Followed a caravan through one evening, he was doing a fair lick & it bounced just has he entered. The skylight on the roof shattered into hundreds of bits. The alternative crossing by the side is manned & he isn't the quickest at opening the gates.

Not sure we've had this one posted yet...
The Forester should fit in
With a couple of inches to spare
It's actively and regularly used (sound your horn near entry!)

It is a little un-nerving the first time you use it.
