Low mill bridge below Thornhill on my way home yesterday

There's a bridge on this one:

Oh that is rather atmospheric

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #854 on:** 21 February, 2013, 03:27:45 pm »

Oohhhhh.... nice. It has to be said, doubtless among many other talents, Salvatore does _good_ bridgery.

Riggers · « **Reply #855 on:** 21 February, 2013, 03:53:52 pm »

… and funghi too. The boy has talent!

Nice bridge today, really old and appears to be part of large estate, hope dates are legible at this res.

Pingu · « **Reply #857 on:** 24 February, 2013, 10:27:54 pm »

Cool, but WTF is it

It is over Willow Brook, which feeds into Blatherwycke lake in Northamptonshire on the border with Rutland.

More of a dam than a bridge, I reckon.
Clearly built by Sir Humphrey Stafford to go with his Hall.

Blatherwycke

Thank you for those kind words. Expect plenty more when I return from this summer's excursion.

I offer a Dutch bridge - De Twist in Vlaardingen

On my commuting route when I cycle to work.

David Martin · « **Reply #862 on:** 26 February, 2013, 11:11:50 pm »

The goldfinger bridge a few years previous?

David Martin · « **Reply #863 on:** 02 March, 2013, 06:04:39 pm »

Millhole bridge, now about thirty zillion trees have been removed.

Bridge or waterfall? Blow Gill, in the North York Moors, near Hawnby.

Deano · « **Reply #865 on:** 04 March, 2013, 09:36:46 pm »

And some Darlo Bridges.

Bridge over Clow Beck, on the old (old) A1:

Blackwell Bridge (carries the A66):

Polam Lane Bridge (recently repainted):

I _think_ I've played Pooh Sticks off that last one!

Deano · « **Reply #867 on:** 04 March, 2013, 09:43:52 pm »

We did!

Vince · « **Reply #868 on:** 06 March, 2013, 09:15:59 pm »

Another Dutch cycle path bridge

I didn't stop for a photo because I'm rubbish, but imagine if you will one of North Worcestershire's finest gaping potholes, filled to some unseen depths with an abundance of slowly trickling farm runoff. And a piece of broken fence panel fallen, presumably from the back of a vehicle, across it in a manner far too reminiscent of a hedgehog-bridge to suggest that the universe doesn't have a sense of humour.

And, in what counts as a minor tragedy for bridge enthusiasts but is probably good news for hedgehogs and cyclists, someone has only gone and filled in that whole series of gaping potholes with a substance that could charitably be described as 'tarmac'. The bridge itself was nowhere to be seen. So the hedgehog bridge will forever remain unphotographed.

The fruits of the weekend's mini tour.

Urban bridgery in Northampton no 1. Complete with half-submerged shopping trolley

Urban bridgery in Northampton no 2. Look closely and you'll see a traffic cone in the water.

Some fine Victorian ironwork in Burton on Trent. Bravo to The Rt Hon Michael Arthur Baron Burton

A E Allsopp, Mayor, also made sure he was remembered in Burton on Trent

Dogmersfield Park

And I now have in my possession the original engineering drawings(*) for the (mostly nonexistent) bridges on the Newtyle deviation of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway. Early Victorian material specifications are somewhat ambiguous.

(*) a digital copy of, complete with engineers hand scrawled pencil notes.
