Went over this bridge two weeks ago. GBOB 
What’s your stance on viaducts?
the worst possible type of bridge as you’re reminded how far away from the ground you are by plinths
Much sturdier though. Lovely pillars and/or arches, rather than a big span being held up by ‘science’.

This is the most famous bridge local to me
This is apparently the oldest bridge in Bristol and I walk over it a lot with my dog
Also Bristol means ‘place at the bridge’ but it’s not referring to either of these bridges.
Also also just realised that Bristol Bridge used to be over the River Avon (before the floating harbour and new cut) which means that it was the Bridge Place Bridge over the River River.

One of the best exhibitions I ever went to was the Living Bridges exhibition at the RA back in 1996
There was a ridiculously cool futurist 50/60s megastructuralist idea for rebuilding Köln (or maybe Frankfurt) with a single massive chrome building that streched across the landscape with inhabited megatubes going everywhere. Was well good. Never been able to find a picture of it since
It’s probably in the exhibition catalogue which I see you can get online for pretty cheap
Anyone wanna buy it for me?

The Kingsferry Bridge to Sheppey
Great piece of early 50s brutalist design that we used to cross whenever we went to visit the family as a kid. My dad remembers getting a day off school to go to the opening.
It’s now been bypassed by a new bridge, but still carries trains and local traffic.
