A bridge of two halves, this one: simple stone slab at one end,

In our younger and foolisher days, the challenge in the climbing club was to do a bridge traverse around the slab. Basically go right the way round it unaided. Like a table traverse, just wetter if it goes wrong.

Our local bridge has been damaged again:

There will be a long diversion to get to the main road now. Either about 5 miles or 10 miles depending on the weather (the road on the shortest diversion floods if it rains a lot on the moors).

I just rediscovered this one on my Flickr account, and can't remember whether I've posted it before.

Some from today's offroad loop to the north of Darlo.

Footbridge over Dene Beck, on Patches Lane:

ECML:

Ketton Bridge. It's now obsolete, as the river was re-routed to shift the effluent from Fishburn Coke Works down to the Tees and away as quickly as possible. Apologies for the shite photo:

Mill Bridge, Coatham Mundeville (ditto):

And the other Skerne Viaduct:

A couple from my recent trip to Cologne.

The strange colour on the side of that bridge is thousands of locks. People lock a lock to the bridge, then throw the keys in the river.

A little known fact - the jack up platform was invented to install the legs for that bridge across the entrance to Montrose basin, and then used to much greater effect in building it's big brother a few miles further up the Tay.

I think that the Montrose one is on the South Esk. I'm assuming by the other bridge you mean this one?

Indeed

I've explored that suspension bridge over the Tweed on a holiday a few years back, but that Willington viaduct, that is lovely. Can you give me a clue roughly where it is, please?
