[News] Favourite Bridge

Easy. Putney. Hammersmith is nice as well, especially as it's pedestrians only at the moment.

Should have been preserved alongside a new fotbridge . . .as brutal/ugly as it was, it was an antique. And fairly new tech at the time it was built!

The Millau Viaduct is pretty impressive!

Millau .... amazing.

With Norman Foster playing a key role.

Apart from presumably sketching some nice drawings for the initial optioneering, the architect's role in designing that will have been pretty minimal.

Which is largely the case for all bridges. There's the occasional little feature bridge where they get to whip their pencil out and write some nonsense about how "the shape of the bascule echoes the fish hooks that were once so important to the fishing industry in the town etc. etc." but generally the engineers do all the work. Which is why most bridges tend to be prosaic concrete or steel things.

Anyway, I can't begin to choose just one so I'll post this photo and leave it.

Or 114 according to this, 31 of which are listed or a scheduled ancient monument.

Have we had the legendary local bridge immortalised in book and film? Also the source of much snickering by the immature.

The stepping stones that enable you to cross the River Fal at Lerryn in Cornwall. Such a pretty little village,

Well it's a bridge of sorts isn't it?

Spent many a happy holiday there staying in The Granary.
